This octagonal bowl from the S.M.Y. Hohenzollern, dated 1911, comes from the exclusive onboard service of Kaiser Wilhelm II. and is one of the particularly rare collector's items for lovers of KPM porcelain, imperial table culture, and objects of German naval history. Made of white glazed porcelain, the bowl displays the large coat of arms of Kaiser Wilhelm II., surrounded by the chain of the Order of the Black Eagle – one of the highest Prussian orders.
On the rim is the imperial presence standard above the banderole with the inscription “S.M.Y. Hohenzollern”, the state yacht of the German Emperor, which served as a representative ship of the Imperial Navy from 1893 to 1918. The porcelain service was exclusively used during the Kaiser's personal presence on board and today only a few examples remain in museum or private collections.
The underside bears the typical underglaze blue scepter mark of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM) as well as the red orb mark, both with dating. The bowl measures 18.5 × 18.5 cm and is in good condition with good painting and fine execution. Subtle rubbing in the blue tones (which appear somewhat lighter).
This object combines royal provenance, high-quality porcelain manufacturing, and historical significance – a true highlight for collectors of Imperial Era porcelain, KPM Berlin, and maritime representative objects of the German Imperial Era.
