Third Reich Bread Plate – Spiral Motif

Here’s an excellent example of a bread plate with the Norse Edda script ‘Heil dem Gast der zu uns Kommt’. In my own experience these plates are more scarce than the plates with the script ‘Ehre die Scholle die uns Ernährt’ as used on the SS Wedding plates.

Hand carved with gouged finish,  a nice curved rim with the script and three carved feet to the base. The central carved ‘spiral of life’ was a popular motif in the Third Reich period and also seen in designs of wrought iron candle holders, carved into plates, family chests,  and so forth.
