Bruckmann & Sohne Solid Silver Stem Vase from Hermann Göring’s Family Wagon 10 ‘205’
A quite superb, and incredibly rare solid silver stem/flute vase, specially produced by Bruckmann & Sohne for the Deutsche Reichsbahn Sonderzugs.
This one carries designation marks for Hermann Göring’s Sonderzug ‘Asien’, and in particular carriage number ‘205’, Hermann Göring’s family car, which was for use by his wife Emmy, and daughter Edda when they joined him for a trip.
This beautiful vase is one of two styles used on the Sonderzugs, this being the stem or flute type, the other was a tulip vase which had a more bulbus body, Göring however prefered the stem vase as we see here.
The front features the Deutsche Reichsbahn Eagle with wreathed swastika straddled by the letters D and R. To the underside is found the silver manufacturer’s hallmarks: a cresent moon, crown, ‘800’(silver content), and imperial eagle, below this is the number ‘205’ indicating the wagon number.
Condition:
Absolutely beautiful silver vase in stunning condition, some light tarnish, and a little dark patina in the DR motif, a superb display piece, and a great investment. One of the most sought-after Deutsche Reichsbahn items.
