Antique German Beer Stein Relief Three Landsknechts by A. Description: This beautiful stein was made in Germany by Adolph Diesinger in the 1890s. Diesinger is one of the most collectable beer stein manufacturers. The beer stein made in his factory are considered by some collectors as “quintessentially German”. Adolph Diesinger – the owner of the factory – was at the same time the artist who created these designs – very close to “naive art” to the point of being kitschy. Made in relief technique with a center panel deco rated with relief picture of a medieval soldier carrying a crossbow. This is “Landsknecht” – a mercenary soldier of XV – XVI centuries, a very popular subject matter in A. The lid is pewter with ornate thumblift. Marked with “Germany” – the “Germany” or “Made in Germany” was required for all the items that potentially could be exported, according to the German “Merchandise Marks Act of 1887″. Diesinger took a patent on his designs and started marking his stein with DRGM patent statement. So we can with much certainty say that the stein was made between 1887 and 1901.
