I guess I'm the contrarian here. Despite the family history, this looks more like 1960s or '70s to me. Kahla, a very large German company, used...
All I can say is buying stuff on late night TV is always a mistake.
Show us the print. Is it professional or amateur? In all probability, whoever signed it was simply unaware of the conventions.
Makes no sense to me. I suppose it might have been made for large scale mechanical printing, but first pulled by hand in a smaller edition. In a...
Cockade is another word that never occurred. It will be a while before I'm able to look at that link, but I think it applies to the rosette...

An idle guess is paper mache, but I don't think you'll know until you get it. It does look nice. Quite a description in that listing.
It doesn't look like majolica to me, just painted and glazed ceramic.
I'm leaning towards aquarium ornaments as well. I think the doors and windows would be treated differently if made for shelf display.
