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..!
