here's some partial info:

the dates for the GDR, "German Democratic Republic"  aka East Germany, are from about 1949 - 1990.  My sketch of your description didn't allow me to find the actual maker.  But with apologies in advance to my German friend,  Chris Simon-Marshall, Echt Kobalt seems to translate to "genuine Kobalt (Cobalt).

May I suggest that you go to Chris' site:  

www.porcelainmarksa ndmore.firmitas.de

and with a picture or sketch, e-mail him?  He is a true expert on all Germany related marks.  Value?  well, without knowing the exact company, these beautiful items appear to be valued from minimum $10 to $25 ish.  Of course, the specific maker if known, could possibly alter that value.  

Best wishes on your continued search,  KB    ;)
