Six identical dessert, cake or fruit plates by Wächtersbacher Steingutfabrik in Germany, glazed fine earthenware in ivory/cream with a relief basketweave design and pierced edges, each about 18.5 cm in diameter, dating to around 1899, all six with identical marks and in very good antique condition.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A special and elegant set of six antique dessert or pastry plates from the German Wächtersbacher Steingutfabrik, executed in fine glazed stoneware in a soft ivory/cream color. All six plates are fully matching and share the same refined basketweave or Korbmuster. The entire surface is embossed in relief as woven basketry, radiating from a central geometric rosette outward. The wide rim is perforated/reticulated all around, with regular elongated openings. This creates a particularly light and decorative effect.
This type of basket weave decoration belongs to a much older European ceramics tradition. Especially in the 18th and 19th centuries creamware with basketweave and pierced decorations was very popular. The style is strongly associated with English manufacturers such as Wedgwood, famous for its Queen’s Ware. Wächtersbach continued this classical European formal language in the 19th century in its own German production. These plates are therefore well described as Wächtersbach in Wedgwood/Queen’s Ware style; they are explicitly not a Wedgwood product.
With a diameter of about 18.5 cm, these plates were probably intended as dessert, fruit, or pastry plates, for example for cake and pastries during coffee or tea moments. The presence of six identical pieces makes it likely they were used as a matching set for six people.
A particularly attractive detail is that all six plates carry the same impressed base mark, consisting of the characters 00 – D – U – N around a central factory/product mark. Based on Wächtersbach’s known dating and production system, this combination is associated with production around 1899, with the individual marks referring to, among other things, size, production period, and former/worker.
The six identical marks, equal dimensions, and uniform execution indicate that the plates come from the same production period and have been preserved as a coherent set.
The plates are in very good antique condition. As far as visible, there are no clear chips, cracks, hairlines, or restorations. The pierced rims are complete and the relief has been preserved with nice sharp detail. There are only light signs of use and aging consistent with objects of this age. Please review the photographs carefully; they are an integral part of the description.
