This delicately refined looking tea/coffee mug displays the porcelain mark with the Munich coat of arms, featuring the "Munich child." The words "Munich, Germany" was used on souvenir items primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, typically between the 1890s and the 1930s.
This period saw the symbol transition from an official city seal to a widespread mascot used for tourism advertising on items like postcards, beer steins, and various porcelain wares. The inclusion of the word "Germany" without further clarification (e.g., "West Germany" or "US Zone") often places the production date before the post-World War II period when such distinctions became common on export goods.
This beautiful mug is in very good vintage condition, with no chips or cracks present.
