To get an idea of the market value, you can search Ebay. There is usually some for sale on there.

Johann Haviland, the grandson of David Haviland, started his own company in Bavaria, Germany in 1907 and went out of business by 1924. An Italian firm bought the company and in 1933 sold it to the Rosenthal conglomerate. Quantities of this inexpensive china were sold at PX's in Germany after WW 2. Several patterns were used as grocery store premiums. To the best of my knowledge, the grocery store versions that are more commonly found on eBay were from circa 1985.
