Description
Nymphenburg Porcelain Soup Bowl from Adolf Hitler`s personal Formal Tableware at the Deutscher Hof
An incredibly rare snow-white porcelain Soup Bowl, specially produced by the Nymphenburg factory in Munich for Adolf Hitler`s personal formal tableware, used exclusively at the Deutscher Hof, Nürnberg.
The Bowl bears a gilt national eagle clutching a wreathed swastika to the inside near the upper rim, to the rim is a band of gilt surrounding the entire lip, the gilt band rolls over into the inside. To the base can be found a dark blue-green Nymphenburg maker’s mark, an impressed Nymphenburg stamping, and also the impressed number ‘4’ which may indicate the model/pattern.
Hitler most commonly used Meissen tableware, though the Nymphenburg firm manufactured the formal dinnerware for smaller settings, including his train and Nürnberg’s Deutscher Hof hotel. While in Nürnberg Hitler stayed at the Deutscher Hof Hotel, he had a large room on the first floor with windows from which he could review his marching columns. In 1936 an extension was built at the hotel which provided Hitler with a balcony, commonly referred to as the Führer balcony.
