Porcelain milk jug with an image of a skipper (clock). Released by Nutroma / Mitterteich Porzellan (clock tableware)

  • Manufacturer: Nutroma / Mitterteich Porzellan
  • Date of manufacture: 1970s

Description
Who doesn't know it? The cosy coffee service with images of traditional clocks. It was released in the 1970s by Nutroma coffee creamer and is produced by Mitterteich Porzellan.

On both sides of this milk jug, also called cream jug, a frontal image of a Schippertje anno 1820 is depicted.

Towards the end of the 18th century "skippers" were made in the north of the Netherlands, which were mainly used on inland shipping. The head of this clock is very similar to the tail clock, but the small and usually openwork tail is striking.

Condition
This milk or cream jug is in a neat vintage condition with no significant traces of use or age-related traces of wear. Photos are part of the description.

Dimensions

  • Height: 8 cm.
  • Diameter: 6 cm.
  • Width: 10 cm (with handle and spout).

Nutroma
For years Nutroma and Friesche Vlag were competitors when it comes to coffee creamer. Nutroma now falls under the umbrella brand Friesche Vlag.

Mitterteich is a municipality in the German state of Bavaria, located in the Landkreis Tirschenreuth. The city has 6,630 inhabitants.

In 1886 Ludwig Lindner founded a porcelain factory there. Now this company is called Porzellanfabrik Mitterteich AG. The porcelain brand Mitterteich is internationally known for its hotel porcelain. Tirschenreuth has held the title of city since 1932.

The Nutroma clock crockery tableware
Who doesn't remember it? The cosy coffee crockery tableware with images of traditional clocks. It was released in the 1970s by Nutroma Coffee Creamer and was produced by Mitterteich Porzellan. The images and captions were provided by the renowned clock expert and author Jaap Zeeman.

The tableware consists primarily of a coffee pot, a milk jug and a sugar bowl along with six different cups and saucers. On both sides of the high coffee pot is a frontal image of a stately Dutch grandfather clock from 1750. The sugar bowl shows a Brabant clock from 1780 and the milk jug shows a skipper from 1820.

The coffee cups are decorated with images of a chair clock from 1750, a Frisian short tail from 1820, a Zaan clock from 1710, an Overijssel Ruempolk clock from 1750 and an Amsterdammertje from 1760. The only non-Dutch clock on this tableware is the lantern clock in the year 1640, as it appeared in England and France.

The crockery can be expanded with breakfast plates and a presentation set, consisting of a large plate and six small saucers. The breakfast plates show various chair clocks from 1707, 1728, 1740, 1765, 1775 and 1850. The large cake plate offers a view of a Twente chair clock from 1779, signed by CW Bakker Goor, while the pastry saucers bear the same images as the cups.
