Seltmann Weiden Saucer Appraisal

Johann Seltmann Weiden Bavaria Porcelain Saucer

The item is the underside of a white ceramic or porcelain saucer, which appears to be part of a larger dinnerware set. It is circular in shape with a slightly raised rim on the underside, forming a foot ring that helps stabilize the piece and protects the glazed surface when stacked. The primary color is a clean, glossy white, indicative of fine porcelain or high-quality ceramic. The center of the underside features a green manufacturer's mark, which includes a crown emblem atop text that reads “Johann Seltmann,” "Weiden Bavaria", and what appears to be "Qualitats-Porzellan" or similar, indicating its origin and quality. There's also a number '4' or 'A' visible near the bottom of the mark. The surface shows some light wear, particularly around the foot ring and outer edge, possibly from stacking or regular use, evidenced by a slight dulling of the glaze and minimal scuffing. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage, suggesting it is in good used condition. The design suggests a classic, possibly mid-20th century, European style, characteristic of Bavarian porcelain manufacturers known for durable and elegant tableware. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, with a smooth finish and precise application of the maker's mark. The weight is not discernible but typical for a saucer of this type.
