    Hi John

    I don't think so. It is an orangy gold colour and I presumed it was the "vergoldet" version mentioned on p. ? of the reprinted Allach 1938/39 catalogue.

    The paint is very professionally applied and looks to be in keeping age-wise with the piece, but maybe you know something I don't!

    There are pieces of white 'Allach' out there that have had embellishments added, post war.

    Painted allach had the paint applied before glazing. Later additions will be on top of the glazing. Have a look at your piece and see if the paint is over or under the glaze.

    When it comes to "vergoldet" I believe that this means fire gilded gold and would have been nothing other than gold in colour.

    There is an issue of post war embellishments as far as colors go, its kind of tricky as there are rare exceptions. The color scheme pictured would certainly grab my attention if I saw it for close scrutiny. But? I dont think it really diminishes the value, I would not pay a premium for such a piece however.

    It is not ordinary for sure.

    Best,

    Kris

    Yes, you are right, it is not the gold that appears on the small candle holder. It seems, therefore that it has been added (maybe post-war, maybe ony post purchase).

    But it is a genuine Allach piece so I am still happy with it.

    Yes the dark color is a first for me too. From what I understand all the Julteller presentation pieces were always in the white.

    Sorry, guys, which plate are you talking about, 41 or 42?
