The Luncheon plates are 8 3/8" in diameter and the dessert plates are 7 3/4" in diameter. A little history: by 1913 Jaeger was already employing around 400 workers. Over the years the factory flourished and even a small fire on February 9th 1923 could not hinder its progress. In the year 1930 the by then Kommerzienrat ("Councillor of Commerce") Fritz Jaeger employed 500 workers including those working in an own decoration studio in the city of Munchen (Munich). During the period until 1945 the factory had contracts with many US companies like Geo. H. Bowman Co. from Cleveland, Ohio, and directly supplied various US decoration studios like Caine's Studio from Akron, Ohio. Following the war however the Jaeger business mostly concentrated on the German market, trying to recapture shares it had lost in previous years before the war.
