It is made of thick heavy pewter with the body, handle and the lid made in sculptural picturesque way to hail German spirit. The front panel shows a carriage in Roman style with the Kaiser (Emperor) Wilhelm I driving it. In the back of the carriage sit German statesmen – Otto von Bismarck and Helmuth von Moltke, the architects of the creation of German Empire in 1871. Next to Kaiser is his son – Crown Prince Friedrich, the future Emperor Friedrich III. Next to the carriage we can see Emperor Charlemagne on a horse – the founder of the Holy Roman Empire. In front of him is a figure of an ancient German warrior, maybe Odoacer or Teodoric, or just a not specific ancient German warrior. On top of the whole scene is Nike – the winged goddess of victory. A group of three Cupids is flying near Nike. The rest of the body shows Coats-of-Arms of all German lands, cities and regions to show the significance of the Germany united in the Empire. The lid is toppled with the German imperial crown and the Prussian Eagle. It is engraved with a presentation inscription indicating that the stein was a gift to Herr Registator Kuekelhahn for his 25th jubilee working for the urban construction department. It was most likely created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the unification of Germany in 1881, and the presentation inscription was made much later. I have included in my photos pictures of Wilhelm I, Friederich III and also Bismarck and Moltke. You can see that the relief portraits on the stein are made with excellent details and likeness.

Antique German Green Glass Beer Stein High Wheel Bicycle Bike Theme c. Description: Presented is a fantastic antique German beer stein made of bottle-green glass with inlaid pewter lid. The body of the stein was hand-blown of bottle-green glass, stone-cut to create vertical facets engraved with copper wheel to make beautiful flower bouquets ornaments. The pedestal and handle were also stone-cut. The lid is pewter with bronze inlay showing two cyclists on high-wheel bicycles. The inscription above the cyclists reads: “All Heil” – that was the official motto of the sports of cycling in old Germany. It means “All well” literary but was used as Safe travel! The high-wheelers or “penny-farthing” bicycles were common in the 1880s, by the mid-1890s they were mostly replaced by the safety bicycles. Bicycle sports was very popular in Germany in the 1880s – early 1900s. There are many steins featuring bicycles and bicycle societies themes, but glass steins are quite rare among them for some reason. Great glass stein with wonderful theme and in excellent condition. It was manually made using several labor-intensive techniques, resulting in an astonishing piece. It is 9 tall to the top of the thumblift, 0.5L capacity.

Antique German Beer Stein Hunting Theme withDog Thumblift by Wächtersbach c. 1880s
Antique German Beer Stein Hunting Theme w/Dog Thumblift by Wächtersbach c. Description: This beauti ful and impressive antique German beer stein was made by the Wächtersbach ceramics factory – a factory with an old history of producing excellent quality ceramics items. The factory was established in 1832 as the Waechtersbacher Keramik in Brachttal- Schlierbach in Hesse, near the town of Wächtersbach. Between the end of the 19th and the middle of the 20th century, it was one of the most important German manufacturers of earthenware goods, both in terms of the scope of production and the quality of its design. However, the factory was making lots of everyday ceramics for German consumers, but beer steins were really scarce – there are just a few models that were made – and my guess is they were all made in late 1870s – early 1880s under the factory manager Max Roesler. The next manager, Christian Neureuther, moved the company towards Jugendstil/Art Nouveau direction. This stein was made in the early 1880s from very fine stoneware with some glass-based glaze. It was molded and filled with liquid clay, so the details became quite sharp and precise. The high-raised bas-relief decorations show hunting scenes on the sides with some hunting paraphernalia – a trophy bag, a horn, a rifle, and a long knife (along with a flask with some liquid) – in the middle. The lid is made of pewter with a beautiful figure of a dog for the thumblift and an inlay made of the same stoneware material with a hunting hat for the finial. It is marked with incised “Wächtersbach” and letters “H” and P. I was not able to decipher these. Th e stein is in excellent condition – no cracks, chips or any kind of damage or repairs. The lid is sitting very tight. It is 7.75 to the top of the thumb lift, 0.5L capacity. Height: 7.75 in. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.

Rare Large Antique German Beer Stein by S. P. Gerz Gresrhenana Model #BB c. 1880s
Unusual Large Antique German Beer Stein S. Gerz Gresrhenana Model #BB c. Description: This very unusual German beer stein is quite unusual for a German beer vessel. It was manufactured by S. Gerz – one of the most famous names in German beer stein production in late 1800s – early 1900s in a typical English manner. This squat form is quite common for the so-called “English brown jugs”, as well as applied decorations that were called “springs” by English manufacturers, showing characteristic English gentlemen-beer lovers. Such very distinctive beer vessels were made in the mid-1800s by Doulton Lamberth, Kishere Mortlake, Denby, etc. Even the pewter lid is made in a specific English manner with the English-style small hinge. It is most lakely made specifically for the British market market – I also know of some similar S. Gerz beer steins with the inscription on the stein, which is the main element of design, made in English. It is quite possible that the whole “Gresrehnana” brand was even created for the British market This technique is specific to S. Gerz and is called “Gresrhenana” – I guess S. Gerz hold a special patent rights on it that are indicated in Ges. Mark on the bottom. The bottom is also marked with S. The stein is in excellent flawless condition – a collector’s dream. Again, it is 6.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1.5 L capacity – large and impressive. Height: 6.5 in. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing. Track Page Views With.

Antique Large German Glass Beer Stein/Server Enameled Mary Gregory Type c. 1880s
Antique Large Beer Stein/Server Mary Gregory Type Enameled c. Description: Presented is a very large and beautiful pouring beer stein/server made in a style that is called “Mary Gregory type”. There are many speculations as to who Mary Gregory was. It is known that she worked for the Sandwich Glass factory in 1880. Most often, the name “Mary Gregory” is referred to the glass with white enamel paintings on colored glass. The technique, however, originated in Germany around 1870s – the American implementation of it was secondary. This serving stein is German, and it was made in the 1880s. The stein is made of hand-blown bottle-green glass with some texture on the surface, creating a wonderful optical effect. The handle is formed into a floral stem and manually applied. The lid is pewter with ornate thumblift and three ring open type hinge. The picture is painted with white enamel with different layers forming shades and even relief giving a fantastic impression. It shows a young girl in a snowy forest admiring a flower – maybe a first snowdrop. Great serving stein with wonderful theme and in excellent condition. It is very large and impressive, standing 13.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, 2 L capacity. Height: 13.5 in. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.
