Left Photo Illustrates the large Pre-WWII Aluminum Bowl used by the Polish Navy or Marynarka Wojenna, 11" across and stands 1.75" high. This bowl is available for sale, $195. and is a very unique and rare part of Polish history in that it was used prior to WWII and survived both the German occupation as well as the takeover from Russia post-WWII and incorporated into the Soviet Empire.

Photo to the Right Shows the Polish Navy Topmark Stamped Onto the Edge of the Bowl Which Consists of the Initials "Mar. Woj" on either side of a Fouled Anchor. The initials stand for Marynarka Wojenna, or Polish Navy.

Left Photo is taken in 1939 on the enlisted mess deck of a Polish Destroyer. Note that soup is being served and the large tin soup bowls! Exactly like the ones offered here on The Pirates Lair and dated 1937.

Photo to the Right is a closeup of the the two bowls.

Photo to the Left Shows the Bottom of the Bowl stamped with the manufactuer's name "PELIKAN" and a date of manufacture, "1937". Available and For Sale at $325.

Photo to the Right appears to be front and back stamped post-production with a "101" which could be an inventory number, and what appears to be a double stamped initials "WW" or "MM".

Another Photograph of the Bottom Mark Showing the Manufacturer's Stamp and Date, PELIKAN 1937.

The above photographs illustrate a very rare Marynarka Wojenna or Polish Navy large bowl used by crewmen in the Polish Navy. This is the only dinnerware or tableware piece we have been able to obtain from the Marynarka Wojenna or Polish Navy and we would certainly like to add to our collection.

Note the initials Mar. Woj. on either side of the fouled anchor which stands for Marynarka Wojenna. This bowl certainly has seen some use, but we think it is absolutely beautiful and priceless!

The above photos represent only the second Polish Navy aluminum bowl found in over 8 years which we discovered in Germany, and is identical to the first one found in 2005. This second bowl proves that this was a standard piece of mess gear used by Polish sailors.

Above is an aluminium drinking cup of the Polish Navy, dated on the bottom 1935, and clearly shows the Polish Naval insignia stamped on the front along with 0,5L whatever that means (perhaps 1/2 Litre?). The insignia on both the cup and bowls are essentially the same which establishes both provenance and consistent standardization.
