Kahla Porcelain Dinner Plate with Blue Checkered Rim, Made in GDR

The item is a porcelain plate, likely part of a dinnerware set, featuring a distinctive blue and white checkered pattern around the rim, accented with small olive or berry motifs. The central portion of the plate is plain white. The plate exhibits a smooth, glossy glaze. Its physical characteristics align with standard dinner plate dimensions, though precise measurements are not available from the image. The most prominent feature is the green manufacturer's mark on the underside, which is clearly visible. This mark consists of a stylized crown symbol above the word "KAHLA," with "MADE IN GDR" written below it in a semi-circular fashion, and the number "29" underneath "GDR." The "GDR" designation indicates that the plate was manufactured in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), dating its production to between 1949 and 1990. The overall condition appears to be very good; the surface is clean, and there are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. There is a plastic film or packaging material draped over the top, suggesting it might be new old stock or very well-preserved. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear printing on the maker's mark and a consistent glaze, indicating a mass-produced item from a reputable manufacturer of the era. The presence of the original packaging hints at its pristine condition.
