Vintage R.S. Germany Cabinet Plate with White Clematis Floral Motif

This lovely plate is decorated with large white clematis blossoms nestled among shaded green/tan foliage on long slender brown stems. The background is blended shades of muted olive green to pale creamy yellow. The green mark is the wreath and "R.S. Germany." The plate measures 6" in diameter and has a narrow gold edge. There are no cracks, chips, or repairs; minor wear on the edge. The "RS" is derived from the founder, Reinhold Schlegelmilch, but the work of his sons, Arnold and Ehrhard, made the mark famous. With factories in Suhl and Tillowitz, most of their production was exported from 1892 until the beginning of World War I. The Suhl factory closed before the end of World War I; the Tillowitz factory remained operational until the beginning of World War II. The items we sell are not new.
