Have this a chance.

The platters I was referring to are "Victoria" Waffen SS marked pieces. They do not utilize Old English. However, if you go to http://www.williamsmilitaria.com/1796311.html and look up "ss china", these pieces seem to have the same basic traits as the cup. The green color was used on some of the pieces as well. Perhaps Mr. Williams can settle the discussion once and for all.

SS tea cup

I just posted this example under "SS Bowl", but it seems to apply here. The teacup design appears to be too delicate for Waffen-SS field use. I believe most Waffen-SS tableware is more "mess hall" style. This bowl is very thick and very heavy. It's roughly 8" across. The entire design is underneath the glaze.

Underside - All the insignia is underneath the glaze...

if you hold it to the light you will see the ss handschar is on top of the glaze while the area of make and logo are under it. bad

I'd just like to add that this is not necessarily a bad sign. Many of the china manufacturers also produced items for export. These were not Nazi marked. It's not uncommon to see the Nazi symbols applied over the glaze.

I highly doubt the Handschar Division had anything to do with it.
It's okay as a coffee mug - so you might as well use it .

The 13th Waffen-Gebirgs-Division der SS 'Handschar' (Kroatische Nr.1)
was never reffered to as 'SS Handschar' during it's existence, being non-Germanic they weren't allowed to wear the runes either. SO why would their tablewear bear something they themselves could not ?

Logically, to me at any rate, this is purely a fantasy item created to deceive.

Teacup

Excellent points by Mr. Hulley. Besides, it appears to be too delicate for use by the Waffen-SS. It looks more like something from an English tea set. If it were official SS mess ware, it would be far more substantial. We're then left to believe that this tea set was purchased by a fanatical Handschar wife who rushed down to the Croatian version of Macy's when she heard the news that the new Handschar tea sets are in.

[Doug Kenwright]

Yes, it could be used..but a word of caution..never try to reheat a 'cuppa in the microwave, because when you go to grab it by the handle, you will be very sorry indeed..

Not microwaveable safe is not just a slogan..!!

Why would Handschar division produce its own dinnerware? Are they a military unit or a porcelain factory?
