Product Overview
Large white porcelain tureen made for the Luftwaffe by the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM) of Berlin. It stands on a raised foot, with fully sculpted lion head handles on each side. The underside carries the crowned KPM mark above the Luftwaffe eagle, with Fl.U.V. (Fliegerunterkunftsverwaltung, the Luftwaffe barracks administration) and the date 1941. It measures about 32 cm (12 5/8 in.) across, including the lion heads. Tableware with this mark was used in Luftwaffe barracks and mess halls. The tureen has no lid. The glaze is bright, with light wear and a ring of discoloration on the interior floor. Fine radiating lines show in the glaze on the underside around the mark. Good used condition.
