kaiser 1986 'the mocking bird' plate

[kitten_uk2]

ive just bagged myself a mint condition kaiser plate, named 'the mocking bird' but i cant find anything about this plate on the internet, is it rare or limited edition?

Do you have a name on the bottom, or other marks?.

its 1986 and by g neubacher all the sites ive searched on bring up every other plate but that one, its got a right up on the back but its all in german

Sorry, but I don't think that the plate is particularly rare. The edition was limited to '50 firing days' but there were probably many thousands fired each day.

This dealer will sell you one for US$40:

but this Illinois auctioneer sold 6 Kaiser plates, including 'The Mockingbird' for US$60 for the lot!

As you look at it, is the bird on the right, in a tree, and underneath, a woman and child?.

If you google 'Ruby Lane' its American. and put in their search engine ' Mockingbird plate, they have one on sale, about $45, its a 3rd issue plate of a ltd edition called 'Classic Lullabies', so if you paid less than twenty five pounds, you got youself a bargain.
