Antique Early Pewter German Beer Stein Walzenkrug Saxonian dat. 1815
Antique Early Pewter German Beer Stein Walzenkrug Saxonian dat. Hello, my dear customers! I will be out of the country from September 2nd to September 12th. Please keep this in mind! This very interesting and impressive beer stein was made in Germany in the early 1800s. It is a so-called “Walzenkrug” – a cylindrical form beer drinking vessel that was very popular in the 1700s. The thumblift is a hollow ball – please note that the hollow balls for the thumblift are a very good sign of authenticity. They never made solid balls for the thumblifts before 1850 – 1860 and there are no repros with hollow balls – I guess it is very hard to reproduce. The stein shows a plain cylindrical body with no decorations. This cylindrical body with a broad hollow base and tapered lid is associated with the Saxonian pewter tradition. For about 150 years Saxonian pewterers from Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz, and other Saxonian towns were making more or less similar pewter steins that were very popular all over Germany from the early 1700s till the 1850s. The lid is engraved with the initials J. The inside of the lid shows pewter hallmarks. These hallmarks belong to a pewterer named Johann Gottfried Bohme who worked in the Saxonian town of Dippoldiswalde in the 1700s and early 1800s. Please note that the German pewter marks of the 1700s – first half of the 1800s usually (but not necessarily always) consisted of two identical marks for a town and one personal master pewterer’s mark. The master mark for J. Bohme shows the date of 1708. This is supposed to be the date of the pewter shop establishment. However, about 50% of German master pewter marks for the period show this date. I don’t know why they put this date and the others put real dates into their marks. Probably, 1708 was the date of the pewter marking law and some of the pewterers wanted to show that their shops were started at the very beginning. The stein is in great condition – it has some very minimal dings and scratches unavoidable for the soft metal as pewter, but no breaks, tears or repairs – a rare condition for beer steins this old. The stein is large and impressive, it is 9.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1L capacity. Condition: Very good – no damage, no repairs, some minor dings and scratches. Height: 9.5 in.

Antique Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Melonenkrug Bunzlau c. 1750
Antique Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Melonenkrug Bunzlau c. Hello, my dear customers! I will be out of the country from September 2nd to September 12th. Please keep this in mind! Presented is a rare example of early German pottery. This high-fired earthenware brown-glazed beer stein was made in Bunzlau – a town in Lower Silesia in the mid-1700s. In fact, all the pottery production from small towns in Lower Silesia is called “Bunzlau” Every German town and every region 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 “Melonenkrug” or “Melon-shaped steins” because of their round shape and vertical or diagonal ribs. These ribs were made by hand from the inside initially and later with the help of a special instrument. The lead-based brown glaze was typical for Bunzlau. “Melon-shaped steins faded out of fashion after 1750″, -writes Beatrix Adler in her book “Early Stoneware Steins” based on Les Paul’s collection. “The last date we can find on a pewter mount is 1757″. The pewter lid is dome-shaped with a hollow ball thumblift. The inside of the lid is stamped with pewter marks that belong to Joahim Heinrick Kampffer, a pewterer in the town of Sagan in Lower Silesia, now Zagan in Poland. He was active in mid-1700s and died in 1771. The stein is large and impressive – it stands 9 tall to the top of the thumblif, with approx. 1.5 Liter capacity. A very similar, almost identical stein is featured in Gery Kirsner’s “The Beer Stein Book” on page 40. The stein is in good condition, the appearance is excellent. There are some small chips on the upper lip covered by the lid but no large chips, cracks, or repairs. The lid has the hinge rings broken – it could be separated from the stein. This is a very good condition overall for a stein over 250 years old (see pics). It is very impressive and elegant and a true historical piece that carries over 200 years of both culture and technology. I guarantee the authenticity. Condition: Minor chips, the hinge has broken rings. Get Supersized Images & Free Image Hosting. Attention Sellers – Get Templates Image Hosting, Scheduling at Auctiva. Com. Track Page Views With.
