This plate was part of a set of two plates (back to back) suspended from an ox-shaped cast-iron bracket (this is one of the two plates).
Justus von Liebig was a German chemist who devoted his life to agronomic research.
In 1865, the German engineer Giebert joined forces with Baron Justus von Liebig to set up Liebig's Extract of Meat Company in London. Their vision was to market the meat extract invented by the Baron a few years earlier, and to develop meat concentrates as food supplements - a process studied as early as 1847 and perfected in 1860 - animal meal and, finally, milk preparations for infants.
In 1899, Liebig helped launch the OXO product, which was sold as a bouillon cube from 1911 (source: universalis.fr and Wikipedia).
