Mitterteich Bavaria Plate with Artist Mark

    I have a poinsettia plate - Mitterteich Bavaria with artist mark that I cannot read.
    I'm wondering if these are valuable at all or if there is much of a market for them. I cannot find this particular plate anywhere online, which could be good or bad. Any thoughts? It might be early 1900's.

    It looks much more recent to me, maybe 1970s. I suspect the peacock mark is that of a decorating company that would buy blanks from manufacturers and then apply their own decoration, likely a transfer decal. Looks like shipping would cost a bundle for this. That could be the determining factor on a sale. Just my opinions only.

    I agree with more. Transferred decal. Peacock is most likely the decorator, slight chance it could be the retailer.
    Looks to be 1960s-70s.

    If you are looking to sell, you would do well to hold onto it until about October. That is when more people are looking for Christmas items. If you put it up now, you may only get one interested buyer.

    I guess it's artistic license, but poinsettias don't actually grow on vines.

    Janet,
    I don't think that is a vine. I think it is tinsel. The glare on the plate makes it hard to see.
    I suspect it is the same color (silver? gold?) as the edge to tie it all together.

    Yes, it has some gold tinsel that matches the border.
