I did some online searching after I posted this, and found that Bassett was a New York company that produced porcelain china in both Limoges, Fr, and in Austria, during the 1800s and up until WWI. All of the pieces bear the same mark, regardless of where they were made. I have two of these that have survived to the 21st Century.
