Kriegsmarine Porcelain Soup Plate - Jäger 1939

An original Second World War period German naval enlistment mess hall soup plate. This deep porcelain plate features a clean white glaze and is entirely textbook in form and manufacture.The reverse side features a very sharp and deeply struck manufacturer's logo from the renowned company C. & E. Jäger from Eisenberg, completed with a crown. Directly below the maker's mark is the official Kriegsmarine eagle over the letter 'M' (Marine) and the clear production date of 1939. The plate is in good used condition with one small chip on the bottom foot rim (standring) where it sits on the table, which is very common for issued naval tableware. No further cracks or major structural damage. A very fine, dated piece.
