Kahla Porcelain Collector Plate - 'Am Seerosenteich'

This is the reverse side of a fine porcelain collector plate titled 'Am Seerosenteich' (At the Water Lily Pond), which is the first issue in the 'Katzenkinder auf Entdeckungsreise' (Kittens on a Voyage of Discovery) collection. The plate was manufactured by the renowned German porcelain company Kahla in 1996, based on original artwork by the artist Jürgen Scholz. The item is crafted from high-quality white glazed porcelain and features comprehensive backstamp information in black script. This includes a graphic of a water lily, the individual plate number '11902 KH', and the BRADEX number '22-K3-3.1'. It mentions that the production was limited to 95 firing days. The plate appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing on the underside. The foot rim is unglazed and clean, indicating minimal shelf wear. The hallmark logos for BRADEX and Kahla are clearly visible, confirming its authenticity as a licensed collectible from the late 20th century.

I have examined the digital images representing the reverse side of the Kahla collector plate 'Am Seerosenteich' by Jürgen Scholz. The piece exhibits the characteristic high-glaze finish and clear backstamp typography associated with the 'Katzenkinder auf Entdeckungsreise' series. The Bradex number 22-K3-3.1 and the unique plate number 11902 KH appear authentic to the 1996 production run. Based on the images, the plate is in excellent vintage condition; the foot rim shows negligible shelf wear, and the porcelain body shows no evidence of hairline fractures or crazing. Market demand for late 20th-century commemorative plates remains low due to high production volumes (95 firing days) and a saturated secondary market. While Kahla is a respected German manufacturer, the item's value is primarily decorative rather than investment-grade. Comparable sales on international platforms typically range from $15 to $35, often dependent on the inclusion of the original certificate of authenticity and box. While the markings appear consistent with genuine Kahla production, a definitive authentication would require physical inspection to verify porcelain resonance, weight, and glaze consistency under UV light to rule out professional repairs. This appraisal assumes the front image is free of scratches or pigment loss, which cannot be confirmed from the provided reverse-side view.
