Bearing the Fein Zinn, Fine Pewter touchmark of an archangel with balance scales of justice in the left hand, this German made pewter plate measures 9 1/8 inches in diameter. The edge is scalloped and double-banded.
The recessed 6 1/4 inch in diameter center portion of the plate has a finely detailed horse and carriage scene (which resembles Cinderella’s coach in appearance). Most likely, the driver has arrived at the church for a wedding ceremony.
Beneath the scene are entwined wedding rings set among a floral treatment. A 2 inch banner area would allow for personal engraving, if desired (engraving service not provided).
The back of plate has the GES.Gesch wording along with 114A.

Above those words is an embossed beaded circle with an inner crest/shield design and the initials, JMN. The archangel with the balance scales is centered above the beaded circle. This touchmark is one of two symbols recognized by the German Pewter Guild for exceptional quality.
There are areas of light wear and scratching on this plate, but overall it is in fine vintage condition without dents or dings. A sturdy pewter hanger makes this terrific plate ready for display. |
