A smashing example of an original 

World War One

Imperial German

Commemoration of Army Service

China Mug

1914-1918


Measuring approx 4" high x 3.5" across

and with a hand-painted cranberry lower half

the front bears, within a wreath, an image of an

Imperial Iron Cross 2nd Class

 (EK-II)


In a superb, undamaged condition 

and uncovered in France,

this is a superb commemoration of an

Iron Cross winner's service in

the Kaiser's Imperial German Army

during the Great War.

Part of an on-going acquisition of

a fascinating militaria collection of 

British, German & French

Great War Barn-found & Trench Dug

artefacts from 

The Somme & Verdun in France

and from the 

Ypres Salient of Belgium

that was carefully built up & curated over a 40-year period.

 

Thanks for looking..!
