No big value I'm afraid, this plate is a 20th century example, Value: less than $20.00

Furstenberg was founded in 1737 in germany. Its one of the oldest manufacturers in Europe.

Hohenheim university is founded on 1818.

the plate is commemorative to Franziska von Hohenheim, who died 1811.

it was indeed made on that date written 1818. 

It is an early 19th century plate.

If you connect all the dots the, your estimate below 20 is far far below.

Anyways, thanks for your valuation

The date on the plate is not its date of production, plates made during the early 19th Century would not have markings of this type on them. Plates like these are 20th century examples ordered by universities and other organizations for sale to Alumni.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'll try to research more about it. Are you an appraiser by the way?
