Hi Lola,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Rosenthal porcelain landscape plaques are decorative art pieces made by the German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal; the company began to make them in the late 19th Century and they were popular through the mid 20th Century. These plaques often feature finely detailed hand-painted or transfer-printed scenes — think romanticized views of mountains, lakes, countryside vistas, or even mythological or historical settings. Many have a glossy finish and may include gilding or other ornate details. Some are signed by the artist, which can increase their value, which is futher enhanced if they are in good condition, are signed by the maker and/or factory stamps, and retain their original frames.

​Heinrich Fink was an artist known for painting detailed landscape scenes on Rosenthal porcelain plaques during the early 20th century. While specific records of his tenure with Rosenthal are limited, his work is particularly associated with the 1930s. The inscription below the factory mark translates to "Evening mood / Original work by H. Fink".

Fink-decorated Rosenthal plaques of similar size usually sell at auction for fair-market prices ranging between $150 and $250; note that antiques dealers may ask higher RETAIL prices for ones they are selling.
