Description
Nymphenburg Porcelain Milk Jug from Hermann Göring’s Guest Wagon 10 ‘234’
A beautiful porcelain Milk Jug, specially produced by the Nymphenburg factory in Munich for the Deutsche Reichsbahn Sonderzugs.
The jug carries designation marks for Hermann Göring’s Sonderzug ‘Asien’, and in particular carriage number ‘234’ which was Göring’s guest wagon.
The highly glazed porcelain is accentuated with a fine red trim and even finer gold trim to the inside and top of the spout rim. The little base/foot of the jug also has red and gold trim, this time with the thin gold line to the top and the red underneath. Centered to the jug body is the Deutsche Reichsbahn insignia, a gold eagle with wreathed swastika straddled by the letters D and R. To the underside is found the green Nymphenburg crest, an impressed Nymphenburg Crest, a letter `F`, another mark which is difficult to make out, and a hand-painted number ‘234’ in black indicating the wagon number.
