Neuosier Cup & Saucer, 1894/1897 – KPM Berlin Imperial Service for Kaiser Wilhelm II

Construction & Materials

This rare KPM Berlin Neuosier cup and saucer from an imperial porcelain service for Emperor Wilhelm II is an outstanding example of finely crafted Imperial German porcelain. The cup is dated 1897 and the matching saucer 1894, both made of white‑glazed porcelain and decorated in the highly desirable iron‑red Neuosier style.

The decoration features an elegant Rococo cartouche with the Prussian eagle and the historic cipher “FR – Friedrich Rex” beneath the crown, directly referencing Frederick the Great and the long tradition of the Prussian monarchy. Additional polychrome floral bouquets and a finely executed gilt vine‑leaf border enhance the luxurious and representative character of this imperial ensemble.

A key highlight is the personal monogram “WR” (Wilhelm Rex), marking the set as part of a service associated with Kaiser Wilhelm II. The undersides bear the authentic KPM Berlin marks: the underglaze blue scepter and the red orb mark, each with date inscriptions confirming its late 19th‑century origin.
