Set of Seven Bareuther Bavaria Mother's Day (Muttertag) Porcelain Plates
This is a set of seven vintage blue and white porcelain collector plates from the Bareuther Bavaria manufacture in Germany. Each plate measures approximately 8 inches in diameter and features a high-gloss cobalt blue underglaze transfer print on a bright white porcelain ground. The collection spans various years, specifically including visible inscriptions for 1974, 1975, and 1976, labeled with the German word 'Muttertag' (Mother's Day). The artwork on each plate depicts idealized, nostalgic domestic scenes typically involving a mother and children, executed in a traditional Romanticist style with fine tonal gradations. These plates are characterized by a slightly convex form and a smooth, unadorned rim. The craftsmanship reflects the mid-20th-century German porcelain standards, with meticulous attention to detail in the transfer-ware process. Each plate appears to be in excellent used condition with no visible cracks, chips, or significant crazing, though some surface dust and minor shelf wear on the unglazed foot rings are present. The underside typically includes the 'Bareuther Waldsassen Bavaria' hallmark along with the specific year and edition details printed in blue. These plates are part of a limited annual series produced during the 1960s and 1970s, making them classic mid-century collectibles.
