This exceptionally rare ensemble from the imperial household consists of a sugar bowl and a creamer, both crafted from high-quality silver and clearly attributable to Kaiser Wilhelm II.'s table. The pieces date from 1899 and 1897 respectively and each bear the monogrammed initials "WR" beneath the imperial crown, which stands for "Wilhelm Rex" – a clear sign of their origin from the personal possessions of the last German Emperor.
The sugar bowl, dated 1899, weighs 135 grams and is in very good condition. Only a small dent on the rim is to be noted, which, however, does not diminish its historical value. The creamer, dated 1897, weighs 144 grams and shows traces of interior gilding, as was typical for ceremonial table silver of that period. This piece is also very well preserved and testifies to the high quality of imperial silverwork.
Such objects were used at official banquets and private receptions and presumably originate from the holdings of the Court Silver Chamber. Their combination of historical provenance, artistic execution, and rare state of preservation makes them a valuable testimony to Prussian court culture around 1900. They are ideal for museums, collectors of imperial silver objects, or as a highlight in an exhibition on monarchical history.
