A Meissen Plate from Jagdgau Sachsen (Meissen) (Item HUNT 8-1) |
DESCRIPTION: This is a plate by the Meissen porcelain firm that honors the Deutschen Jager Verein or German Hunting Association. This was the official organization first established by Hermann Goring, Chief Forestry Chief and Hunting Master in N.S. Germany. The plate is fairly simple in design but therein lies its beauty. It has the stag head associated with the legend of St. Hubertus, only this design is not the usual due to the fact that the cross and the swastika are employed together. A ribbon below the stag head has the D.J. for Deutscher Jager and branches from the fir tree and oak leaves are seen to each side of the central presentation and the words Jagdgau Sachsen are seen across the top. Jag of course refers to hunting and Gau is in reference to the geographic district, in this case Saxony, the eastern most state of the United N.S. Reich. On the back of the plate are the crossed swords used by the firm of Meissen, the premier German porcelain manufacturer located in Saxony. A beautiful and meaningful art plate in perfect condition. Measures 9 ½ inches in diameter. A great find for the collector of hunting paraphernalia. PRICE: $490.00 |
