Hi,
I think it´s kind of (transfer) print rather than real painting. My favourite german candidate
for these older looking pieces would be Alfred Taube / presumely 1960´s or 70´s:

If it's a transfer, you may be able to see the printing dots under a strong magnifyling glass. Scratching is not a test for a transfer. Hand enamelling and enamel transfers are all fired on. Schwarzlot just refers to the black/brown enamel

cant see any dots with my glass but i could still be a transfer. im trying to find out more about Alfred Taube not much on the net that i can find. a little bit on this message board  closed in 1992
