Antique German Etched Beer Stein Drinking Cavaliers by Johann Peter Thewalt #1296 c. Description: This beautiful very old German beer stein is made in “etched” technique – the contours of the decoration are incised into the body. This technique was used by different manufacturers around the turn of the 19th century – the most famous was Mettlach, but also J. Remy, Hauber and Reuther, and some others used it to create very beautiful (and also expensive at the time) exclusive beer vessels. This one was made by Jo hann Peter Th ewalt around early 1900. The scene on the stein shows a group of Renaissance cavaliers drinking in a monastery yard with a monk coming from the cellar offering some more brew. The inscription reads: Ein guter Fund zur rechten Stund. A good find for the right hour. The stein is in excellent condition – no chips, lines or any other damages. The lid is pewter with a ceramic inlay which is also etched with two owls and a glass of wine (a symbol of drinking wisely in this case) and the word Prosit! – To your health! The stein is large and impressive, standing 10 tall, 1 L capacity. Maker: Johann Peter Thewalt. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.
Large Antique Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Bellarmine Frechen c. 1600s
Antique Large Very Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Bellarmine Frechen circa 1600s. Hello, my dear customers! I will be out of the country from September 2nd to September 12th. Please keep this in mind! This beer stein is one of the oldest beer drinking vessels. It dates back to the years of 1600s and was made in the town of Frechen – one of the most important centers of early stoneware production in Germany. The tradition of “Bartmann” or “Bearded man” beer steins began in mid 1400s in the town of Cologne – another important stoneware production center in Renaissance period Germany. It became so popular that every town in Rheinland that was involved in pottery produced their own version for almost two hundred years. There are very similar Bartmann beer steins produced in Raeren, Siegburg, etc. The stein is made of brown saltglazed stoneware. The bearded face was made on a separate medallion and applied. There is also another applied medallion at the center of the stein. 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. The stein is in excellent condition for about 300 – 350 years old. Most of the Bartmannskruege are repaired or restored. This one has no structural damage and no repairs and no major cracks. There are some glaze chipping spot in the body and some minor surface crazing. Just very minor age-related wear. Other than that – no problems. This size is larger than usual and the condition is extremely rare. 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 picture from the late Johannes Vogt beer stein catalog – it shows a very similar stein. The stein is large and heavy, it stands 13 tall (33 cm), 6 lb of weight. Condition: Excellent (see description). Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.
Pair of Antique Early German Stoneware Westerwald Beer Steins c. Late 1700s
Pair of Antique Early German Stoneware Westerwald Beer Steins c. The beer steins made before 1850 fall into the “Early” category in terms of beer stein collecting. They are quite rare – at that time, before the Industrial Revolution, the production was all manual. Every stein made in the early period was unique, decorated by hand, and rarely replicated. These two beautiful steins were made in the 1780s – 1790s, they are guaranteed old give or take 10 years. They were made in a traditional style of grey stoneware with cobalt-blue glaze. These are very traditional beer-drinking vessels – a type that was produced for centuries, from the mid-1600s to the mid-1800s. The production of saltglazed stoneware beer steins in the Westerwald region of Germany reached the highest quality by the end of the 18th century. The steins are decorated with stylized floral decorations. The decorations are etched into the clay with a sharp instrument. The steins are also glazed with cobalt-blue glaze, fired, and saltglazed. Both steins have no lids – it looks like they were unlidded from the beginning or the lids were removed at some point. Both steins have no cracks, major chips, or repairs. The stein on the right has a small chip on the upper rim, the one on the left is in excellent condition. The inscriptions on the bottom are the museum notes and inventory numbers from the Schlossmuseum. They could be easily removed if needed. The taller stein is 6″ tall 0.75 L capacity, the other one is 5.5″ tall, 0.5L capacity. Condition: One excellent, one w/small chip. Height: taller 6 in. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing.

German Regimental Beer Stein Train Battalion No. 13 1908-1910.5 LTR Lithophane
This beautiful stein is approx 11 1/2 inches tall and is in excellent condition. We have included photos of our store showcase that has all our available steins. 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.
