The Fürstenberg Manufactory
Founded in 1747 under the aegis of the Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, it is still the second oldest German factory still in operation.
A similar plate can be found in the Kestnermuseum in Hanover, and is reproduced full page in Fürstenberger porzellan / II Geschirre / p. 178 by Siegfried Ducret. See photo.
