Rare Transitional Thomas Bavaria N.S 1932-1933 Plates- Erich Haselhuhn # 2097
To my knowledge these just do not exist and other than a reference made
many years ago I have never seen an example of either plate. They are
large diameter at 12 5/8 inches or roughly 32 Cm. Typically most
porcelain plates whether they be presentation or otherwise run 9.5-10
inches or 24.5-25 Cm. The reason this is important is because most
people will not realize what 2 5/8 inches does when added to the
diameter of a sexy plate, they go Ka-Boom when you unbox them and see
just how big they are. Other technical terms include "Wow" "Holy Shit",
and "God Damn that's big". You will have to trust me in this regard but
these are killer, and capturing that on a photo is not possible.
The first plate dated for 1932 bears a large Reich Adler in Art-Deco style to the obverse with the motto "Einigkeit bricht Not" or "Unity breaks strife" and is hand painted in gold leaf and grayish blue to include the exterior rim. To the rear you find the maker mark for Thomas Bavaria, a partner/subsidiary of Rosenthal then and to this day. In addition there is an artists stamp "Entwurf" (design) then E. (Erich) Haselhuhn below which reads "handgemalt" (handpainted). You do not always get the artists stamps but here it is nice as the second example for 1933 is minus the stamp and the first plate pretty much confirms who designed the 2nd plate.
The 2nd plate also measures 12 5/8 and is a stunner in every sense. The obverse displays the motto "Deutsch sein heisst treu sein" or "To be German means to be loyal". To the lower left you see the rising mobile swastika under the date of 1933 in gold leaf. The central motif is the large mid-evil sword and the addition of the greenish wreath and entirely hand painted and its a total screamer. The reverse bears the standard mark for Thomas Bavaria but is minus the designer stamp in this case but no doubt the same guy. I photographed a minor manufacturing flaw to the reverse interior rim, I shot it twice as its clearly under the glaze and a non issue.
With my website and tastes I see a whole lot of porcelain from the finest Allach examples to various other manufacturer's so there are not many pieces that bowl me over or impress me. This pair is one of the most striking and aesthetically pleasing pair of plates that I have ever encountered. In addition to that you have the transitional aspect from 32-33 and the use of materials that would later be prohibited, cant say enough about these and they are quite simply over the top.
