Pair of Antique Early German Stoneware Westerwald Beer Steins c. Late 1700s
Pair of Antique Early German Stoneware Westerwald Beer Steins c. The beer steins made before 1850 fall into the “Early” category in terms of beer stein collecting. They 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. These two beautiful steins were made in the 1780s – 1790s, they are guaranteed old give or take 10 years. They were made in a traditional style of grey stoneware with cobalt-blue glaze. These are very traditional beer-drinking vessels – a type that was produced for 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 end of the 18th century. The steins are decorated with stylized floral decorations. The decorations are etched into the clay with a sharp instrument. The steins are also glazed with cobalt-blue glaze, fired, and saltglazed. Both steins have no lids – it looks like they were unlidded from the beginning or the lids were removed at some point. Both steins have no cracks, major chips, or repairs. The stein on the right has a small chip on the upper rim, the one on the left is in excellent condition. The inscriptions on the bottom are the museum notes and inventory numbers from the Schlossmuseum. They could be easily removed if needed. The taller stein is 6″ tall 0.75 L capacity, the other one is 5.5″ tall, 0.5L capacity. Condition: One excellent, one w/small chip. Height: taller 6 in. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing.

The stein is made of saltglazed stoneware hand-turned and manually decorated with beautifully and intricately etched and incised into the body floral patterns. This was done with several kinds of wooden sticks when the clay was still soft. It is also glazed with a very unusual teal color glaze.

Antique German Stoneware Beer Stein King Gambrinus Regensburg Inlaid Lid c. 1870s
Antique German Stoneware Saltglazed Beer – Stein King Gambrinus Regensburg Inlaid Lid c. Hello, my dear customers! I will be out of the country from September 2nd to September 12th. Please keep this in mind! This type of very old German beer steins is traditionally called “Regensburg” type even though the majority of them were produced in the Westerwald region. These steins are different from the very traditional Westerwald beer vessels – they did not use cobalt-based glaze so the steins keep a natural clay color. In Germany, they call them “Model” steins referring to the method of manufacturing. These steins were press-molded to a wooden form, they were turned afterward to make the insides round, then they were fired and the salt was applied to create a very solid surface. The stein is circa the 1870s. The relief decor on the front of the stein shows King Ga mbrinus – the legendary inventor of hopped malt beer. It was a very common subject for Regensburg steins – a massive figure of the King sitting on a beer barrel and saluting with a stein. The sides of the stein are decorated with relief pictures of young children with hops and barley – they symbolize young Bacchus – the Greek god of drinking and feasting. The inscription below reads: Es lebe hoch es leb’ mit Dank Gambrinus Gerst und Hopfentrank. Long may it live with gratitude the Gambrinus’ barley and hops drink. The lid is pewter with a small porcelain inlay on top handpainted with a beautiful edelweiss flower – the symbol of German mountain regions. The thumblift is engraved with the letter “W” – most likely, an initial of the original owner. The stein is in excellent condition – a rare thing for a stein this old. There are no chips or cracks. The lid shows a pewter repair inside where the tang connects. There are some manufacturing impurities in the body, but they are all part of the manual manufacturing process. Remember, the Regensburg steins of the 1860s – 1870s were not industrialized ware, they were made by hand in small shops. The manufacturing glitches only make these pieces even more interesting. It is a large and impressive antique beer vessel with over 140 years of history behind it. It is 9 tall to the top of the thumblift, about 1L capacity. Condition: Body excellent, minor pewter repair inside the lid. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.

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.

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.
