Vintage German Pewter Plate with Elk in Forest Scene Heavy Relief Embossing, Reinzinn Mark

This vintage pewter plate is a beautifully crafted piece, featuring a striking elk in a forest scene rendered in heavy relief embossing. With a diameter of 23 cm, the plate showcases exquisite detail, making it a standout piece for any collection or display.

  The plate has a scalloped edge and bears the "Reinzinn" mark on the back, along with a Dutch touch mark and an angel symbol, likely associated with B.M.F. C. Koch GmbH from Nürnberg, Germany. This company was known for producing high-quality pewter items, often marked with the Gütezeichen Zinngerät RAL, indicating premium craftsmanship.

  In good vintage condition, the plate retains its original patina, adding to its charm. There is light wear consistent with age, and a hanger on the back, originally meant for wall display, has been replaced with a hole for easy mounting. Despite this modification, the plate remains a perfect piece for displaying on a plate rack, cabinet, or wall, bringing a touch of classic European decor to your space.
