Beautiful ware from the famed Hotel Grunewald, located near the French Quarter, on Baronne Street in New Orleans. The Grunewald was built in 1893 as a 6-story, 200 room hotel by Louis Grunewald. He added a 14-story, 400 room annex in 1908, and opened what is thought to have been the country's first nightclub, "The Cave," complete with stalactites, stalagmites, and waterfalls, and located in the hotel's basement. Sold in 1923, the hotel was renamed "The Roosevelt," and is currently operating as New Orleans' "Fairmont." The  china features a grey-green transfer print of cotton bolls, leaves and flowers, and a custom crest that reads: "The Hotel Grunewald Caterers, New Orleans." Due to the cobalt content of the pigment used, the decoration has a lovely "flow blue" effect. No manufacturer's mark is present. Mfg.: unknown; distributed by Loubat Glassware & Cork Co., New Orleans Circa: 1900
