Rosenthal - Πιάτο - Hortense - Πορσελάνη

• Rosenthal (Philipp Rosenthal & Co.), produced at their renowned branch in Kronach, Bavaria (Germany). The green mark, featuring a crown and crossed lines alongside the initials "R.C.", identifies it as a Rosenthal Co. piece. • Model/line name: HORTENSE. • Year of production: This specific style of green mark was used between 1901 and 1927 (though some sources suggest a narrower timeframe of 1897–1904 for the initial production runs of the Hortense line). The plate, therefore, dates from the very beginning of the 20th century. • Meaning of other markings: • The blue "Handgemalt" stamp is the German term for "hand-painted," confirming that the elaborate birds and insects on the front of the plate are the work of a porcelain painter rather than a machine-printed design. • The numbers 328 and 27 are internal factory codes, typically denoting the mold number, the decoration pattern, or the personal identifier of the artist who painted the plate.
