This rare cup with matching saucer from the S.M.Y. Hohenzollern, dated 1900 (cup) and 1911 (saucer), comes from the exclusive onboard service of Kaiser Wilhelm II. and is among the coveted collector's items for lovers of KPM porcelain, imperial table culture, and objects of German naval history. Both pieces are made of white glazed porcelain and display the great 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, each piece features the imperial presence standard above the scroll inscribed “S.M.Y. Hohenzollern”, the state yacht of the German Kaiser, 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 exists in a few museum or private collections.
The undersides bear the typical marks of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM): the underglaze blue scepter mark as well as the red orb mark, each with dating. The cup has a diameter of approx. 9 cm, the saucer measures approx. 13.5 cm. Both pieces are in very good condition with clear painting and fine execution.
This ensemble combines royal provenance, high-quality porcelain manufacturing, and historical significance – a true highlight for collectors of Imperial Era porcelain, KPM Berlin, and maritime representation objects of the German Imperial Era.
