Description

A serene vintage porcelain plate by Fürstenberg Porcelain, one of Germany’s oldest and most respected porcelain makers (established 1747).

This piece features a hand-painted winter mill scene, delicately signed E. Johns. The landscape is captured in soft monochrome tones, with snow-dusted trees and a watermill by a frozen stream — a peaceful glimpse of bygone winters.

Stamped on the reverse with the Fürstenberg crown-and-F hallmark and marked “West Germany,” dating it firmly to the mid-20th century.
