The Manufacturer: Johann Seltmann Vohenstrauß (JSV). This was one of the premier Bavarian porcelain houses, located in Vohenstrauß, Germany. They were known for exceptionally fine "Qualitätsporzellan" (Quality Porcelain). The Backstamp & Era: Based on the specific green crown mark and the "Qualitätsporzellan Bavaria" script, this set was produced in the late 1940s to early 1950s. This was a pivotal time as German factories were reclaiming their reputation for world-class, luxury porcelain. The Design & Collectibility: The Motif: A striking, symmetrical "Fan" (or stylized Peacock Feather) motif. It is a mid-century take on Art Nouveau. The choice of vibrant Teal/Turquoise was daring for the era. The Gilded Work: The extensive gold filigree and heavy, polished gold foot are classic high-end Bavarian techniques from the 1950s. The fact that the gold gilding is so well-preserved makes it highly collectible.
