Nymphenburg Porcelain Vegetable Serving Dish from Hermann Göring’s Dining Wagon 10 ‘243’
A beautiful elongated and curved porcelain vegetable serving dish, specially produced by the Nymphenburg factory in Munich for the Deutsche Reichsbahn Sonderzugs.
This one carries designation marks for Hermann Göring’s Sonderzug ‘Asien’, and in particular carriage number ‘243’ which was Göring’s dining car.
The highly glazed porcelain is accentuated with a fine red trim and even finer gold trim to the outer rim. Centered to the more prominent inner side 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 shield, production numbers; ‘1376’, ‘2’, and the letter ‘K’. and a hand-painted number ‘243’ in black indicating the wagon number.
