#4216 Pair East German Martinroda Trinket Dishes 4 X 5 Inch Floral And Gold Design On Leaf Shape

The crown over M mark typically indicates the porcelain manufacturer Martinroda, located in Thuringia, East Germany. This factory was known for producing decorative porcelain items, including dishes, figurines, and vases, from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century.

Martinroda pieces often feature floral decorations and gilded accents, reflecting the popular aesthetic tastes of the time. These leaf-shaped dishes would have been used as trinket dishes or small serving pieces, adding a touch of elegance to the home. The East German origin places these dishes within the context of post-World War II production, when the region was under Soviet influence.
