German Plates, 18CM14 Hutschenreuther Hohenberg Bayreuth

By dstnationunknwn, 25 February, 2012
Description

The 1 plate has a signature and 2 clear stamps with a partial stamp on the back. The other has no signature and 3 clear stamps on the back. These two plates are the most unique I've seen in a long time. We have done a lot of internet searching to find anything even close and have come up short everytime. If someone could give us as much detail about these we would be more than grateful. Or if someone can offer an amazing appraiser in the Southern California area that knows their plates, please send me a message. I will only sell these if they are worth an extreme amount as they are 1 of the few anitques I have from our ancestors.

Hi

I have two simiarly stamped plates and so included yours in my request for information to:

http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/ .

Here is the repl​y 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.
