VINTAGE Cochem Western Germany Castle and Winery Collectable 0.25L Creamer
This vintage creamer hails from Western Germany, a mark that indicates it was made in the period after World War II and before the reunification of Germany in 1990. The creamer, with its picturesque depiction of Cochem Castle and a winery, is a delightful collector’s item, not just for those who appreciate vintage kitchenware but also for those with an affinity for German history and craftsmanship.
The creamer stands at a height of 4 1/2 inches and boasts a circumference of approximately 11 inches, with a weight of 271 grams, making it a substantial piece. Its design features tactile grapevine and scroll details, evocative of the rich winemaking traditions associated with the Cochem region. The area is renowned for its viticulture, particularly Riesling wines, and this creamer is a nod to that heritage.
Cochem itself is a town that’s famous for its scenic beauty, medieval architecture, and the majestic Reichsburg Cochem, the castle depicted on the creamer. The castle dates back to around the year 1100 and has a storied history, having been occupied by various powers over the centuries.
The creamer’s aesthetic is typical of mid-20th-century German ceramics, often characterised by bold colours, a mix of traditional and contemporary styles, and a focus on craftsmanship. Collectible items like this often serve as mementos of travel or as part of a collection celebrating German heritage and artistry.
The use of the term “Western Germany” is particularly interesting, as it can sometimes help to date the piece more precisely within the timeframe of 1949-1990. Pieces from this era are often sought after for their historical value as much as for their beauty or function.
Overall, this creamer is more than just a vessel; it’s a piece of history, a conversation starter, and a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of Germany’s past.
