While complete plates from the early Nazi era are collectible and have some value, broken bits of them would have no value unless there was some provenance for them to a high ranking Nazi.

I copyed this from an other comment I couldn't say it any better,

They were canteen dishes owned by the particular government departments . Each department had a different style of eagle . I think this particular eagle was for the infantry . The airforce had a flying eagle with curved wings . The work force depatment had a swastika in a cog and the SS had a symbol of a sharp SS . The cutlery had the coresponding marks . The name on you plate is HUTSCHENREUTER which is the maker . The lion is the company symbol and Bavaria is the shire where the factory was . It was a very big company and they had a few factorys in different parts of Germany . Every Government building and office block with a cateen and every army department (there was a big army) had those dishes . In Germany , not rare . There are departments which are (SS) , but not the infantr

If I had these I would use them as background display for German stamps, then I could ask more for the stamps.....just a idea for you.. Good Luck..Not much value,
