Neuosier Salt Cellar, 1906 – KPM Berlin Imperial Service for Kaiser Wilhelm II

Imperial Provenance & Exceptional Rarity

This exceptionally rare salt cellar from an imperial service for Kaiser Wilhelm II, dated 1906, was produced by the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin (KPM) and ranks among the smallest and most delicate objects of the Kaiserzeit. Its survival alone makes it a remarkable collectible, as only very few examples of this fragile form have endured.

Elegant Double‑Shell Form & Fine Materials

Crafted from white glazed porcelain and finished with a fine gold rim, the salt cellar is shaped in the elegant double‑shell form, a decorative and seldom‑preserved variant within imperial tableware. The refined modelling and gilding reflect the high artistic standards of KPM during the early 20th century.

Imperial Monogram & Courtly Symbolism

The décor features the possession monogram “WR” (Wilhelm Rex) beneath the royal crown, directly referencing its personal use by Kaiser Wilhelm II. This emblem, combined with the vessel’s diminutive size, underscores its courtly exclusivity and ceremonial function.

Authentic KPM Marks & Dating

The underside bears the classic KPM Berlin marks: the underglaze blue sceptre and the red orb mark, both accompanied by the 1906 dating. These marks confirm its authenticity and place it firmly within the imperial production of the period.

Condition & Collecting Value

With compact dimensions of 10 × 4 × 4.5 cm and in very good condition, this salt cellar unites royal provenance, artisanal finesse, and historical significance. It is a true highlight for collectors of KPM porcelain, Kaiserzeit tableware, and representative objects of German imperial history.
