Pre WW1 German Souvenir of Service Ceramic Flask,Named,Regiment 145,1895-1897
Introducing an extraordinary and possibly one-of-a-kind ceramic souvenir of service—a unique find among the few remaining glass bottle flasks.
Exemplifying meticulous craftsmanship, every detail on this hand-painted piece signifies exceptional artistry. The script bearing the unit, "King's Regiment 145," suggests a German state origin, adding historical significance.
The intricately painted name, possibly "K-I-S-S-L-E-N-E-R," showcases the challenges of deciphering elaborate script. Yet, this puzzle of letters adds to the charm and uniqueness of the piece, prompting an intriguing translation endeavor.
Remarkably, the front seems to narrate his life story, an astonishing feature of this gift, displaying the thought and effort put into honoring the recipient. While slight paint wear is noticeable, likely due to handling, the picture of him in the guard tower on the left side shows signs of minor rubbing, possibly from thumb contact, adding a touch of authentic wear to this cherished piece.
Upon closer examination, these flasks reveal themselves as almost artistic masterpieces, commemorative tokens given to those who served in the military reserves for a brief period of two or three years—a testament to honor and recognition for their service and sacrifice.
