D&Co L BERNARDAUD LIMOGES GOLD & WHITE GREEK KEY CREAMER & SUGAR BOWL, BER6

Description

Maker
: This beautiful and classically elegant cream and sugar set is by D & Co. L. Bernardaud, the renowned Limoges firm that has produced exceptional quality porcelain since 1863 and remains a major player in Limoges today.
On the reverse are the green D & Co France white ware mark number 3 that was in use between 1894 and 1900 and the red L. Bernardaud decorator's mark number 3 that was in use from 1900 until the 1930s. That means this set was produced in or around 1900.
The red retailer's mark of Higgins & Seiter, a high-end New York store that closed in 1915, appears on other pieces in this dinner service but not on this set.
Design
: The pattern features a thin black Greek key band and gold scrollwork on pure white porcelain. Replacements.com calls this pattern BER6.
