InstAppraisal does not authenticate items. No determination of authenticity, origin, materials, maker, or age should be considered verified.

Appraisal values are estimates only and may vary significantly based on condition, provenance, market demand, and additional information not available at the time of review.

Re: German Plates, 18CM14 Hutschenreuther Hohenberg Bayreuth
Hi
I have two simiarly stamped plates and so included yours in my request for information to:
http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/ .
Here is the reply I recieved (your info in blue):
Hi Tony,
Your mark includes the word "Aelteste" ("oldest", in context: "Oldest Hohenberg Factory") and was used between 1949 and 1969; the example you linked later misses that addition and was used from 1969 onwards (also note that the latter is a re-decorated item, as the golden crowned S above BAYREUTH shows).
Another difference between both is the origin itself: your item was created at the factory of Carolus (Carl) Magnnus Hutschenreuther (father of Lorenz Hutscheneruther) when it was still independent, the latter item was made after the companies of C.M. Hutschenreuther (Hohenberg) and Lorenz Hutscheneruther (Selb) merged into the Hutschenreuther AG in 1969.
