The plate measures 10.5" diameter x 10.5" from handle to handle.

Marked "Old Ivory Germany", which is a mark for the Ohme factory of Silesia.

Condition is good, but there are some surface scratches and wear to the gold from use.

Old Ivory China and Ohme china are beautiful porcelains produced by the Porcelain Manufactory Hermann Ohme between 1882 and 1928. The factory was located in Niedersalzbrunn, Silesia, Germany (now the town of Walbrzych in Western Poland).

The Ohme popular factory produced two major types of porcelain, which are generally referred to as clear glaze and Old Ivory porcelains. Both lines of Ohme Porcelains were produced in full dinner sets and multiple accessories similar to those produced by the Haviland Factory in Limoges, France, during this period.

Ohme clear glaze porcelains were produced for sale in Europe, as well as the United States. Numerous undecorated pieces were also sold in the United States for hand decorating, a popular activity in the early twentieth century. Some were purchased by commercial decorating firms such as Pickard, and numerous souvenir plates were produced for sale here and in Europe.

Major ports of entry for Ohme China into the US were Portland, Maine, Boston, Mass., and New Orleans, Lousiana. The Old Ivory china was originally marketed in the retail outlets as affordable fine china and elegant dinnerware. Later on it was utilized as free promotional gifts.

This is part of a huge collection of antique Nippon and European (including Limoges) porcelain that I recently acquired from a longtime elderly collector who needed to sell off her collection as she was moving into an assisted living facility. All pieces are authentic and antique. I will be listing more of these pieces over the next few weeks, so please check back to see what is new to my shop.
