Wertheim Am Main Appraisal

Kaiser Porcelain 'Heimatteller 2. Motiv' Wertheim am Main Collector Plate

This is the reverse side of a decorative collector plate made of fine white porcelain, specifically the second motif in a 'Heimatteller' (Homeland Plate) series. The plate features a smooth, glazed white finish and is designed for wall display, indicated by two pre-drilled holes in the foot rim for hanging wire. The center back contains elaborate brown script providing historical context for the artwork on the front, specifically describing the 'Engelsbrunnen' (Angel's Fountain) in Wertheim am Main. The text notes the fountain was built by the City Council in 1574 and mentions the surrounding half-timbered houses and sculpted stone heads of historical figures. At the top of the center, the 'AK KAISER W. GERMANY' maker's mark is visible below a crown logo, along with a small numerical stamp '70'. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks on the rim, and the glaze remains glossy. Based on the 'W. Germany' mark, this item dates to the Cold War era, likely between the 1970s and 1980s. The craftsmanship is indicative of the high-quality porcelain production Kaiser is known for, featuring sharp, clear transfer printing for the descriptive text.
