Antique Very Early German Stoneware Beer Stein Rheinland Siegburg c. 1500s
Antique Very Early Saltglazed Stoneware Beer Stein – Rheinland Siegburg 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 very old German beer stein that dates back to 1400s – 1600s and was made in the “Rhineland” – the region in Germany by the river Rhine where traditionally the early stoneware production took place. The most important towns to produce the stoneware were Cologne, Siegburg, Frechen, and Raeren. This simple and even primitive beer stein was made in the town of Siegburg – one of the German oldest and productive pottery centers. The beginning of pottery production go back to 12th century. It was in 14th century when a transition from earthenware and proto-stoneware took place, culminating in fully vitrified stoneware by the end of the 15th century. The salt glaze was successfully used throughout the 16th century. The stein presented is made of light brown unglazed stoneware with no decorations. It has a dent and a hole in the side. It happened because the potters were trying to squeeze as many steins as possible into the kiln – there are many similar pieces with dents (see my pics). However, this one has a hole as well and was probably a refuse – that’s why it shows no other damage. The potters in Rhineland area were making beer drinking wares in amazing quantities. They were exporting them to the Netherlands and from there to England and the rest of the Europe and Americas. They were inexpensive and practical. Please take a look at my pics! Also, I’ve found very similar stoneware jugs in Peter Breugel the Elder painting “Peasant Wedding” from 1567. Some are slightly different, some are exactly the same. And finally, I have a couple of pics from a ceramics museum in Cologne – it shows some very similar pieces – and with the dents on the sides! Condition: a dent with a whole on the side. Height: 6.25 in. Get Supersized Images & Free Image Hosting. Attention Sellers – Get Templates Image Hosting, Scheduling at Auctiva. Com. Track Page Views With.
Antique Early Pewter Engraved German Beer Stein Walzenkrug Saxonian dat. 1840
Antique Early Pewter Engraved German Beer Stein Walzenkrug Saxonian dat. Description: 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 is a very good sign of authenticity. They never made solid balls for the thumblift before 1850 – 1860 and there are no repros with hollow balls – I guess it is very hard to reproduce. The stein is elaborately engraved all over. It shows a presentation inscription in the front medallion made with a beautiful Biedermeier period script: ” Nimm difs Geschenk aus Freundschaft-Hand zu Ehren Deinen Ehefant” (Accept the gift from the hand of friendship in honor of your spouse) The sides are engraved with floral de corations. Beautiful and skillful work of art. 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. C. Fm. The inside of the lid shows pewter hallmarks. These hallmarks belong to a pewterer named Johann Christian Gottfried Richter who worked in the Saxonian town of Penig since 1803. There is another engraving on the lid – initials C. And date 11.12.1904. It was made for a new owner of the stein. 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 10 tall, 1L capacity. Condition: Very good – no damage, no repairs, some minor dings and scratches.

Antique Early German Westerwald Stoneware Beer Stein Walzenkrug c. Late 1700s
Antique Early German Westerwald Stoneware Beer Stein Walzenkrug circa late 1700s. Description: The beer steins made before 1800 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. This beautiful stein was made in the late 1700s. It is made in a very traditional style of gray stoneware with cobalt-blue glaze. This is a classical beer drinking vessel called “Walzenkrug” or “Cylindrical” stein – a type that was produced for over 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 mid-18th century. The center and the sides of the stein shows a very simple but nice floral decor. The decorations are incised into the wet clay with a sharp instrument, glazed with cobalt-blue glaze, fired and saltglazed. The lid is pewter with hollow ball thumblift. The hinge is slightly different from the common in the late 1700s closed type 5-ring hinges. It is a 3 ring hinge, and I probably the original hinge was broken and replaced some long time ago. The lid itself is most likely original. It shows some repairs on the inside, which is in line with the hinge being replaced. The lid shows pewter touch marks consistent with the late 1700s date. The stein’s body is in excellent shape – there are no major chips, cracks or repairs whatsoever. This is a rare condition for a stoneware item this old. The stein is 8.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, about 1L capacity. I guarantee the authenticity. Condition: Body excellent pewter repaired. Height: 8.5 in.

Antique Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Birnkrug Bunzlau dat. 1781
Antique Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Birnkrug Bunzlau dated 1781. Description: In the next few days I will be posting a small collection of three very similar Bunzlau beer steins that differ only in size. This one is the middle in size. Presented is a rare example of early German pottery made around the late-1700s. This high-fired earthenware brown-glazed beer stein was made in Bunzlau – a town in Lower Silesia. In fact, all the pottery production from small towns in Lower Silesia is called “Bunzlau” Every German region and almost every town 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 “Birnkruge” or “Pear-shaped steins” because of their pear-like shape They are glazed with glossy lead-based chocolate-brown glaze that was typical (and unique) for Bunzlau. The pewter lid is dome-shaped with a hollow ball thumblift. The pewter foot ring was intended to support the pedestal from chipping, the handle strap supports the handle and is very typical for Bunzlau Birnkruge. The lid is engraved with the original owner’s initials: F. Please note – this is the original engraving, stein was made in 1781 or a little earlier. The stein is large and impressive – it stands 12 tall to the top of the thumblift, with approx. Over 2 Liter capacity. A very similar but smaller stein is featured in Gary Kirsner’s “The Beer Stein Book” on page 40 pic. The stein is in almost excellent condition, and the appearance is great. There is a small crack in the pedestal that is secured by the foot ring. Otherwise there are no cracks or chips or any other repairs. Some age-related glaze and pewter wear only. This is a fantastic condition overall for a stein over 200 years old. It is very impressive and elegant and a true historical piece that carries almost 250 years of both culture and technology. Condition: Excellent with small chip at the foot secured by foot ring. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.

Large Antique Early German Beer Stein Muskau Tullenkanne Spouted Pitcher c. Description: The beer steins made before 1800 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. The stein presented is a pouring stein made with a spout – the pouring beer vessels of this type were called “Tuellenkanne” or “spouted pitcher” in Germany. It was made in early 1800s, around 1820s, it is guaranteed old give or take 10 years. It was made in the town of Muskau – on the very East of Germany at the border with Poland. This brown-glazed stoneware was very popular during the first half of 1800s. The Muskau factory produced them in large quantities in all kinds of sizes. The larger pouring steins were usually exported to Hungary, Bohemia and Austria, where they were called “Prague jugs” since they were transported and distributed through Prague. This one is quite large – it stands 16 tall and holds 5 liters of brew. The lid is made of pewter with the urn-shaped thumblift typical for early 1800s. The spout is made of pewter as well.

Antique Early German Brown Earthenware Beer Stein Birnkrug Bunzlau c. Description: In the next few days I will be posting a small collection of three very similar Bunzlau beer steins that differ only in size. This one is the smaller one but still quite large. Presented is a rare example of early German pottery made around the late-1700s. This high-fired earthenware brown-glazed beer stein was made in Bunzlau – a town in Lower Silesia. In fact, all the pottery production from small towns in Lower Silesia is called “Bunzlau” – there are no distinctive features to differentiate them. Every German region (and almost every town) that was known to make pottery had its own unique technologies and trade secrets.

The pewter lid is dome-shaped with a hollow ball thumblift. The pewter foot ring was intended to support the pedestal from chipping, the neck ring supports the neck and is very typical for Bunzlau Birnkruge. The lid is stamped with pewterer hallmarks but they are too illegible to be recognized. The stein is large and impressive – it stands 11 tall to the top of the thumblift, with approx. Over 1.5 Liter capacity. A very similar but smaller stein is featured in Gary Kirsner’s “The Beer Stein Book” on page 40 pic. The stein is in almost excellent condition, and the appearance is great. There is a small crack in the neck that is secured by the net ring. Otherwise there are no cracks or chips or any other repairs. Some age-related glaze and pewter wear only.

Smaller Antique Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Style Frechen c. 1500-1600s
Smaller Antique Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Bellarmine Style Frechen circa late 1500 – early 1600s. Description: I will be posting this week several very early German beer steins They date back to 1500s – 1600s and were made in the “Rhineland” – the region in Germany by the river Rhine where traditionally the early stoneware production took place. The most important towns to produce the stoneware were Cologne, Sieburg, Frechen and Raeren. This beer stein is one of the oldest beer drinking vessels. It dates back to the years of late 1500s – early 1600s and was made in the town of Frechen – one of the most important centers of early stoneware production in Germany. It is made in the tradition of “Bartmann” or “Bellarmine” beer steins of the same shape and color without the applied decorations. 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. It is estimated that between 1600 and 1640 approximately 10 million pieces were delivered to London and subsequently to all parts of the world. The stein is made of gray saltglazed stoneware with the applied slip of iron-rich clay that created this distinctive Frechen brown glaze – only in a very light tone. There is no applied or impressed decorations. The stein is in good condition for about 400 – 450 years old. It has a minor chip at the bottom and a small piece at the neck was reattached with plaster. The fact that plaster was used for a glue means it was reattached some long time ago. There is no other chips or cracks. 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 photo of a very similar jug from the period painting of the mid 1500s. I have also attached a picture of a similar Frechen piece, only with applied Bartmann face and stamped decor. This is a smaller stein – about 6.5 tall, 0.3L capacity. Year: circa late -1500s – early 1600s. Height: 6.5 in. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing. Track Page Views With.
