Antique German/Austrian Faience Beer Stein Walzenkrug Salzburg c. 1800

  
Antique German/Austrian Faience Beer Stein Walzenkrug Salzburg c. Description: Presented is an early German beer stein made around 1800 - give or take 10 yeras. The stein was made in the factory of Salzburg - one of the oldest faience factories in modern Austria, then a part of German world. The stein is made from traditional Salzburg brown clay and glazed with white tin glaze.

The stein was nicely painted with colorful decorations in green, yellow, blue and magenta colors. Nice pewter lid with hollow ball and sturdy five-ring close hinge.

Beautiful piece of beer drinking culture about 200 years old. The stein is in poor shape - there are some glaze losses, few harlines and a patch on the bottom made some long time ago. The pewter is in a good shape with only minor split not visible from the outside. I have find a very similar stein in some old catalog - looks like it was made by the same decorator at the same time.

Still a very nice and beautiful example of early German drinking vessels. The stein is 9.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1 L capacity. Condition: Poor - see description.
