Centennial Cup
The centenary cup was an official honorary gift from the Prussian state government, which was given to Prussian citizens on reaching the age of 100 and presented with a letter of congratulations from the Prime Minister. In case of need, the award could be combined with a gift of money. The honoring of the centenarians was thus resumed after a temporary interruption by the government with a decree of the Ministry of the Interior of November 4, 1925.
The cup, made according to a design by Emil Rudolf Weiß in the Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin , showed the Prussian eagle etched in gold with a circumferential lettering "The Prussian State Government on the 100th Birthday". The initials and anniversary dates of the borrower were on the saucer.
