Description

Dresden Flower Salad/Luncheon Plate Beehive Mark Germany 1900-1920s
I have been unable to identify the maker of this salad/luncheon plate, but it may be Erdmann Schlegelmilch of Germany, as the backstamp is similar to the one used by that company between 1900 and into the 1920s. The horizontal bars inside the beehive are close together and there is one dot below. There are also some letters impressed on the back, but I can not tell what they say. Interestingly, “Austria” appears to have been forcibly worn off from where a shadow remains below the beehive. In the fifth photo, you can see it, but it’s faint. This plate is slightly larger and has a similar floral design to other antique Dresden plate I have listed, but in this case, the floral motif is not in the center.
8-5/8” diameter
Condition: Very little evidence of use – just a few light scratches. There is some wear from stacking and a small glazed-over chip on the rim. The back has some crazing lines, but there are none on the front.
When buying used dinnerware, it’s a good idea to first check the condition of your existing pieces under a good light. If you have any questions about something I have listed, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to answer your questions in a timely, exact manner.
