Crescent China Dishes

Q: We recently came across a box of 40 cream-colored china dishes, all in the same pattern. The pattern consists of three decorative shields around the rim with the head of a woman in the center of the shield and a swastika on each side of the shield. Why the Nazi symbols? Were the dishes made or sold in Germany? The mark on the bottom of the plates is a narrow crescent moon around the words “The Crescent China Co.”
