German WW2 February Militaria Auction
Lot 2:
Ultra rare porcelain portrait of the Führer after a portrait by Willy Exner . Exner was among Hitler’s favorite artists and the Exner painting was chosen as the official state portrait and displayed in public buildings, offices and classrooms throughout Nazi Germany. Rosenthal was and still is one of the finest porcelain manufacturers in Germany, if not Europe but since the company still is in business, but, like many others, they would want the public to forget that they made items such as the rarity that is offered for sale and many of the Hitler porcelain plaques were destroyed after the war. The Rosenthal company sold this high quality 7-1/4 x 9-1/4 inch plaque with and without frame. The back of the plaque has the Rosenthal emblem in print and the title ‘Der Führer -Gemälde von Will Exner’, as well as the paper sticker still attached.
