Value Factors
Market Demand: These specific 3D-molded "key and clock" porcelain souvenir dishes—often customized with transfer images of various US city landmarks or state capitols—were widely produced in Germany during the early 1900s through the mid-20th century. Similar blank molds customized for other states sell right in this exact price tier on platforms like eBay.
Condition: Retaining the delicate gold trim along the leaf-style ruffled borders and keeping the prominent molded key detail fully intact heavily impacts the value. Any hairline cracks, flea bites, or paint fading will drop it below $10.
