This is a set of commercial tableware supplied to MITROPA, the railway and hotel company of the former East Germany. It includes a soup cup & saucer and a plate. Manufactured by the state-owned porcelain factory VEB Porzellanwerk Colditz. The underside is stamped with the CP company logo (Colditz Porzellan) and MADE IN GDR, confirming that it is a genuine product from East Germany, manufactured in the 1970s-80s. The plate was made at the same factory after German reunification, and the mold and texture are consistent. As it is rarely available in Japan, we have set this price. As it is for commercial use, it has a substantial weight and is built to withstand use. There are slight scratches on the surface, but no cracks, chips, or crazing. Manufacturer: VEB Porzellanwerk Colditz (East Germany) / Colditz Porzellan (Post-Reunification) Period: 1970s - early 1990s Material: Porcelain Condition: Good, with little sign of use Size (approx.): Plate 235mm, Cup 97mm, Saucer 145mm This is a valuable item both as a historical artifact of railway dining cars and hotel supplies, and as practical tableware.
