Antique Early German/Austrian Faience Beer Stein Gmunden Brotherly Drink c. 1820s
Antique Early German/Austrian Faience Beer Stein – Gmunden Brotherly Drinking c. Hello, my dear customers! I will be out of the country from September 2nd to September 12th. Please keep this in mind! The stein was made in the factory of Gmunden – now it’s a small town in north Austria that was once famous for faience production. The stein is made of typical Gmunden reddish clay with tin-based white glaze. It is decorated with hand-painted decorations showing a merry man waving his hat and holding a beer stein in his other hand. I could not decipher the inscription on the top completely, but it looks like the man is asking his brothers in drinks to drink with him. It was painted with very typical for Gmunden green and yellow colors with magenta outlines. The factories in the Gmunden area were producing faience beer steins much longer than the rest of the faience factories in Germany. The majority of German and Austrian faience factories were closed by the late 1700s – early 1800s. Very few factories survived after 1850 – Schrezheim, for instance, and Gmunden as well. The stein has a flat pewter lid with a five-ring closed-type hinge and an urn-shaped thumblift – typical for the early-1800s. The stein is in a good condition with minor chipping on the upper and lower rims and a couple of short tight hairlines. It stands 9.25 tall to the top of the thumblift, about 1 L capacity. The steins on the last 2 pictures are not for sale, it’s just a sample. Condition: Good – see description. Height: 9.25 in. Title: Antique Austrian Faience Beer Stein – Gmunden c.
