Antique German Yellow Faience Beer Stein Schrezheim Farmer Occupational c. 1820s
Antique German Yellow Glaze Faience Beer Stein Schrezheim Farmer Occupational c. Description: Presented is a fantastic example of early historical drinking vessels. This beer stein is made of faience. All old German faience could be attributed to a certain town of manufacturing. This one was made in the town of Schrezheim in around 1820, give or take 5 years. Schrezheim was very famous in the late 1700s to early 1800s for its faience work and the best quality pewter lids. This lid alone is a true piece of art from the Biedermeier period of 1815 – 1820s. It consists of a massive ornate lid, a large lip ring, and a foot ring. The lid has a medallion with a relief picture of the tools of the farmer’s trade with the inscription “Gluck und Segen dem Landman” – “Luck and blessings to the farmer”. That means the stein belongs to the “occupational” category – a highly collectible category of the steins made specifically for people of certain professions. The thumblift is made in the form of kissing doves – this was usually done for the steins intended for the wedding gifts. Beer steins were quite expensive at the time and were considered perfect wedding presents. It is safe to say that the stein was made as a wedding gift for a farmer. The stein’s body is glazed with a beautiful yellow glaze – this is the typical Schrezheim glaze, easily recognizable. There is a scratch mark made in the clay that was still wet – it’s number 9, and it’s the capacity mark of 1 1/4 L. The stein has a faint hairline but no other damage or repairs. It is a very good condition for a fragile piece that old. The stein is large and impressive – 10 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1 1/4 L capacity. Get images that make Supersized seem small.

Antique German Beer Stein, Dorfner & Co, 1 Liter Yelloware, c. 1826-1890
Apparently, Dorfner & Co, had about a 65 year history in 19th century Munich, Bavaria. From 1826 -1883, there were 4 ownership changes, but there were always at least 2 Dorfners out of the 2,3, or 4 partners in the firm. Dorfner & Co’s claim to fame was their ability to be first in developing a nice yellow glaze not being found on German Steins up to that time. Upon close examination, it appears to be yelloware, as the clay being used is also yellow. The young man in the stein is not a knight or soldier, but a worker, as he is wearing a Workmans knife and a leather holster apparently full of keys, as maybe a watchman at the brewery? Translation of saying is, The old Germans always drank one more. There are no chips or cracks, just normal ware for a 200? Year old beer stein. Please inspect all photos to determine condition.

Antique Early German Faience Beer Stein Nuremberg Architecture Motif c. 1780
Antique Early German Faience Beer Stein Nuremberg Factory Architectural Motif c. Description: Presented is a very impressive and beautiful old German beer stein manufactured in the town of Nuremberg/Nurnberg in the German state of Bavaria. The faience factory in Nuremberg operated from 1712 till around 1840. The stein was made of faience with hand-painted decorations. The Nuremberg factory employed the best decorators in the country, it was famous for the quality of the paintings and the reason the Nuremberg faience is highly esteemed among the faience collectors. The steins of this shape are called in Germany “Walzenkrug” – “cylindrical stein”. It was painted by one of the factory decorators who created a beautiful and compelling picture with side medallions showing views of a village with a church tower, and other buildings, with bushes and trees. The whole decoration was done in several shades of blue – very common for Nuremberg. I found a very similar stein in an old German catalog (see pics). It seems the same artist decorated it. The artist’s mark is on the bottom – this “P” mark is a known Nuremberg painter’s mark. The stein in the catalog was dated 1780 – I presume this one was made around the same time. Nice pewter a massive foot ring, a lip ring, and the lid with a large hollow ball thumblift. This type of massive pewter mounts were used quite often in the Nuremberg factory beer steins. The stein is in excellent condition for the ceramics item that old. There are no chips, no cracks, no repairs and restorations – a rare thing, the stein presents gorgeously. A large and impressive antique vessel standing 9.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, over 1L capacity. Height: 9.5 in. Get Supersized Images & Free Image Hosting.
