Seltmann Weiden Dinner Plate

The item is identified as a dinner plate, primarily white with a distinctive gold rim. The plate appears to be crafted from fine porcelain or ceramic, showcasing a smooth, glossy glaze on its surface. The outer rim of the plate features a decorative gold band, which exhibits a delicate, possibly etched, pattern or texture, indicating a touch of elegance and refinement. The back of the plate, as visible, reveals the maker's mark: 'Seltmann Weiden' printed in a stylized script, underneath which is 'Bavaria-Germany', indicating its origin. A small crown-like emblem or a stylized 'S' is positioned above the brand name. The plate's construction suggests a standard round form for dinnerware. In terms of condition, there are some visible surface inconsistencies; what appears to be residue or discoloration is present on the underside of the plate, particularly around the foot ring and in some central areas, leaning towards a light brown or yellowish tint. There are also a few minor scuff marks or light abrasions on the glazed surface, consistent with normal use or storage. The gold rim seems largely intact, though a closer inspection would be needed to determine any minor wear or loss of gilding. The overall craftsmanship points to a well-made, possibly mass-produced, item from a reputable German porcelain manufacturer, likely dating from the mid-20th century onwards, given the 'Bavaria-Germany' marking becoming more common post-WWII.
