West Germany Hand-Painted Relief Wall Plate | Snowy Farm & Oxen Winter Scene | 13" Ceramic Chalet Décor c. 1950s

Hand-Painted West German Winter Farm Relief Plate

Richly detailed and full of storybook charm, this hand-painted relief wall plate depicts a peaceful winter day on a rural farmstead. Snow blankets the ground and rooftops while oxen haul timber in a sleigh, figures work near the barn, and bare trees stretch into a soft gray winter sky.

The scene is sculpted in raised relief, giving the cottages, trees, and figures dimension and texture. A glossy glaze enhances the muted winter palette — soft grays, warm browns, and touches of yellow and green — creating depth and movement across the surface.

Stamped Made in Western Germany, the plate dates to the post-1949 era, with most examples like this produced during the 1950s mid-century decorative ceramics period. The reverse also shows impressed number 3710 and factory holes for easy wall hanging. At 13" in diameter, it makes a striking seasonal display piece for a cabin, lodge, chalet, or winter décor collection.

❄️ Collector’s Note: Relief scenic plates from West Germany were popular mid-century souvenirs and decorator pieces. Their dimensional landscapes and hand-painted detail make them favorites for cabin and winter displays today.
