Every stein made in the early period was unique, decorated by hand and rarely replicated. This beautiful stein was made in the late 1700s, around 1780s - 1790s, it is guaranteed old give or take 10 years. It is made in a very traditional style of gray stoneware with cobalt-blue glaze.
This is a very traditional 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. It was relatively inexpensive but robust and was sold in Germany as well as in many other countries, including England and the American continent. The center of the stein shows a circular design with a four-point star in the middle. The decoration on top and bottom of it represent something like wings - I am certain it was supposed to mean something but I am not sure what it is. 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 and large 5-ring closed type hinge. The stein is in excellent shape - there are no cracks or repairs whatsoever. There are some minor flakes on the bottom edge - that\'s can be seen as age-related wear.
The stein is larger than usual - it is 10\" tall to the top of the thumblift, 1.5L capacity. I guarantee the authenticity. Reference#: Condition: Excellent w/some minor flakes on bottom edge Year: c.late 1700s Country: Germany Height: 10 in. Materials: Stoneware Images sell!
