Current restitution status
Restituted
: On 23 December 2019, the Restitutions Committee advised the Minister of Education, Culture and Science to return 107 object groups of Meissen porcelain to the heirs of the original German owner, Franz Oppenheimer. The minister followed this recommendation. The Rijksmuseum held 92 of these object groups, all of which have been returned to Oppenheimer's heirs.
Research findings
This milk jug belonged to the Jewish collector couple Franz and Margarethe Oppenheimer.
This object is one of 184 inventory numbers (92 object groups) from the Mannheimer collection that came from the Oppenheimer collection. It serves as an example for the other objects with the same unclear provenance. A detailed explanation can be found in the report Provenance Research Dr Fritz Mannheimer, a link to which in pdf can be found on the museum page and at http://rijksmuseum.nl.
