Antique Large Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Birnkrug Bunzlau c. 1780s
Antique Large Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Birnkrug Bunzlau c. Description: This is the fourth of the small collection of Bunzlau steins I post – it is the largest by far. Presented is a rare example of early German pottery made around the late-1700s. This high-fired earthenware brown-glazed beer stein was made in Bunzlau – a town in Lower Silesia. In fact, all the pottery production from small towns in Lower Silesia is called “Bunzlau” – there are no distinctive features to differentiate them. Every German region (and almost every town) that was known to make pottery had its own unique technologies and trade secrets. That’s why we can determine where a particular piece was made based on the appearance, style, and type of the pottery. The steins of this kind were called “Birnkruge” or “Pear-shaped steins” because of their pear-like shape They are glazed with glossy lead-based chocolate-brown glaze that was typical (and unique) for Bunzlau. The pewter lid is dome-shaped with a hollow ball thumblift. The pewter foot and lip rings were intended to support the pedestal and the neck from chipping and cracking. The stein is very large and impressive – it stands 15 tall to the top of the thumblift, with a 3L capacity. A very similar but smaller stein is featured in Gary Kirsner’s “The Beer Stein Book” on page 40 pic. The stein is in excellent condition, and the appearance is great. There is no cracks or chips or any other repairs. Some age-related glaze and pewter wear only. You can see some glaze crazing on the inside but it is not cracks since they don’t show on the outside. It is very impressive and elegant and a true historical piece that carries almost 250 years of both culture and technology. Please check my store. Condition: Excellent with a small crack at the neck secured by the neck ring. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.

Large Antique German Regensburg Beer Stein King Gambrinus Humorous Inlay c. 1870s
Large Antique German Regensburg Beer Stein King Gambrinus w/Humorous Porcelain Lid Inlay c. Description: This type of very old German beer steins is traditionally called the “Regensburg” type, by the name of the region where it was first produced, even though the majority of them were produced in the Westerwald region. These steins are different from the very traditional Westerwald beer vessels – they did not use cobalt-based glaze so the steins keep natural clay color. In Germany, they call them “Model” steins, referring to the method of manufacturing. They were produced from the 1850s to the late 1870s. These steins were press-molded to a wooden form, they were turned afterward to make the insides round, then they were fired, and the salt was applied to create the very solid surface. The stein is circa the mid- to late-1870s. The relief decor in front of the stein shows King Ga mbrinus – the legendary inventor of hopped malt beer. The lid is pewter with a porcelain inlay showing a gentleman drinking from a beer stein while three more and a full barrel are waiting for him to finish. My German is not that good to translate it perfectly, but I guess the point could be recognized. The stein is in excellent condition – a rare thing for a stein this old. On the other side – this type of stoneware is extremely hard and sturdy. The traditional cobalt-blue stoneware tends to release inner tensions more frequently, resulting in hairlines. The natural color stoneware is usually free of this problem. There are some minor firing lines and other small manufacturing flaws – the pottery was mostly a manual job, – but no damage or repairs whatsoever. Nice and impressive antique beer vessel with about 150 years of history behind it. It is quite large and impressive – it stands 8 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1L capacity.

Smaller Antique Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Style Frechen c. 1500-1600s
Smaller Antique Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Bellarmine Style Frechen circa late 1500 – early 1600s. Description: I will be posting this week several very early German beer steins They date back to 1500s – 1600s and were made in the “Rhineland” – the region in Germany by the river Rhine where traditionally the early stoneware production took place. The most important towns to produce the stoneware were Cologne, Sieburg, Frechen and Raeren. This beer stein is one of the oldest beer drinking vessels. It dates back to the years of late 1500s – early 1600s and was made in the town of Frechen – one of the most important centers of early stoneware production in Germany. It is made in the tradition of “Bartmann” or “Bellarmine” beer steins of the same shape and color without the applied decorations. The bearded man steins from Frechen are the most classical of all the Bartmann pieces. They were produced for over a century and exported in large quantities to England, Scandinavia and the New World. It is estimated that between 1600 and 1640 approximately 10 million pieces were delivered to London and subsequently to all parts of the world. The stein is made of gray saltglazed stoneware with the applied slip of iron-rich clay that created this distinctive Frechen brown glaze – only in a very light tone. There is no applied or impressed decorations. The stein is in good condition for about 400 – 450 years old. It has a minor chip at the bottom and a small piece at the neck was reattached with plaster. The fact that plaster was used for a glue means it was reattached some long time ago. There is no other chips or cracks. This is a beautiful and very impressive piece that has about 400 years behind it! I guarantee my description and my dating. I have attached a photo of a very similar jug from the period painting of the mid 1500s. I have also attached a picture of a similar Frechen piece, only with applied Bartmann face and stamped decor. This is a smaller stein – about 6.5 tall, 0.3L capacity. Year: circa late -1500s – early 1600s. Height: 6.5 in. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing. Track Page Views With.
German Beer Stein Mettlach 2140/801 Grade Train Batallion
German Beer Stein Mettlach 2140/801 Grade Train Batallion. The majority of authentic German regimental beer steins were produced between about 1890 and 1914. During this time, military service was compulsory in Germany. Most men would take basic training between 17 and 20 and then enter the reserves until age 40. A group of men would enter a unit together, stay in the same unit for training and be discharged as a unit. Rosters of names from your unit, or regiment, could be added to the steins and these became known to collectors as regimental steins. The beginning of WW I effectively ended the production of regimental steins as labor and materials were diverted to the war. We are Gannon’s Antiques and Art in Fort Myers, Florida.
