Scarcer Mettlach 2527 Antique German Beer Stein. 25L Portrait Creussen Style
Surface wiped carefully and inspected for sale. No chips, cracks, or repairs. Stein was very likely displayed in a kitchen setting for a long time where cooking grease has accumulated on the pewter. Leaving more detailed cleaning decisions to future owner. There is what appears to be a production flaw on the body rim as photographed. With a jewelers loope, it appears that production blemish is covered by glaze and light color area is raised (not a chip into the stein or material missing). No notable physical damage found. Hinge and strap are tight and operate as intended. Normal / expected production flaws consistent with steins produced during the turn of the 20th century. Has the look and feel of having been a cherished display only piece since its creation in 1899.
Rare Antique German Stein Nudes & Krampus with Eagle Thumblift
Up for sale is a rare antique German beer stein with a cobalt blue salt glaze. The decorated pewter lid has an eagle thumb lift. The handle has a raised leaf design. There are three figures on the stein – a Krampus like figure dancing with a beer stein in one hand and a club in the other. He wears a hood with horns attached. The other two figures are nude women – one like Venus standing on a large seashell om the sea with a rising (or setting) sun in the background. The other nude is more like a Lorelei figure sitting on a rock in the waves. The outside of the stein is textured with a fine cloth like weave. There are blue stripes and near the bottom a decorated stripe with raised dot stripes above and below. The photos should answer most questions. Unmarked but probably dates to the late 1800s. In very good condition with a small chip on the underside and a small mark on the edge of the lid. A very unusual old stein with unusual decorations.
