Up for sale is a Kriegsmarine serving platter , specifically made for use by Bootsmänner (Boatswain ranks) of the German Navy during WWII. Manufactured by the prestigious porcelain maker KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin) and dated 1940 , this platter is a striking piece of naval history.
The platter is decorated with the typical green line pattern around the edge – a known design used for naval tableware during the period. On the reverse, it bears the correct KPM maker's mark and Kriegsmarine property stamp , confirming its authenticity.
The porcelain is in excellent condition , with a smooth, glossy finish and no visible wear to the decorated surface. There is one very small chip on the underside , but it is minimal and not visible when displayed or in use. Overall, the piece presents beautifully.
An exceptional and hard-to-find item for any WW2 German Navy or Kriegsmarine collection , especially in such well-preserved condition.
