This large soup tureen with a matching lid from the S.M.Y. Hohenzollern, dated 1911, comes from the prestigious onboard service of Kaiser Wilhelm II. and is one of the most impressive collector's items for enthusiasts of KPM porcelain, imperial table culture, and objects of German naval history. Crafted from white glazed porcelain, the tureen and lid feature 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.
Opposite, on both parts, is the Imperial Presence Standard above the banner inscribed "S.M.Y. Hohenzollern," the German Emperor's state yacht, which served as a representative vessel of the Imperial Navy from 1893 to 1918. This exclusive porcelain service was used exclusively during the Emperor's personal presence on board and is now preserved in only a few museum or private collections.
The underside of the tureen and lid 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 soup tureen is in very good condition and impresses with its generous shape, clear painting, and high-quality craftsmanship.
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.
