Porcelain plate bearing a Johann Haviland mark

This item is a white porcelain plate, shown from the underside, featuring a wavy or scalloped rim and a raised foot ring. The glaze appears smooth and glossy, consistent with fine china production. Centered on the base is a green backstamp that bears the text 'JOHANN HAVILAND' arched over a crown logo, with 'BAVARIA' and 'GERMANY' printed below. The marking also includes a small symbol and four dots. This specific mark is stylistically consistent with mid-20th-century Bavarian porcelain production; however, as stamps can be reproduced or applied to later blanks, this remains a hypothesis subject to in-person verification. The condition appears well-maintained with light shelf wear and minor darkening visible on the unglazed portion of the foot ring. There are no obvious cracks, chips, or prominent glaze crazing visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship is consistent with commercial European dinnerware from the post-WWII era. A physical inspection would be required to determine the exact age, porcelain composition, and to verify the mark's authenticity.

Based on the provided image, I have examined this white porcelain plate which bears a green backstamp consistent with markings used by Johann Haviland in the mid-20th century. While the mark suggests a Bavarian origin, I cannot verify the authenticity of the stamp or the porcelain composition from a photograph alone. Such markings can be replicated, and physical inspection of the translucent properties and glaze density would be required to confirm its production era. Based on what I can see, the item appears to be in good condition with minor shelf wear on the foot ring, which is typical for vintage dinnerware. The market for mid-century European commercial porcelain is currently saturated, with significant supply and modest demand. My appraisal of $15 to $35 is based on the assumption that the attribution to the Johann Haviland factory is correct; however, should the piece be identified as a later reproduction or 'in the style of' without a verified mark, the value would likely be nominal, perhaps under $10. To provide a more precise valuation or to confirm authenticity, I would need to perform an in-person examination to check for microscopic wear patterns and verify any historical provenance documentation. At this time, the value is reflective of standard secondary market trends for decorative Bavarian porcelain items of this type.
