Lipper & Mann was started in 1946 New York by Hal Lipper and Seymour Mann. Originally importing wares from Europe, and selling to major department stores, independent shops, jewelry stores and home furnishing stores. In 1949 their inventory and selection grew, they started importing from Japan and added figurines, dinnerware sets, tea sets, etc. They are well known for their Blue Danube blue and white dinnerware pattern (very similar to Blue Onion), we believe it was introduced in 1951. In 1963, Seymour Lipper bought out Hal Mann and changed the company name to Lipper International, Inc. In the 1980's they moved to Wallingford, Connecticut, they are still in business today.
