Description
Probable South German, perhaps Bavarian faience, circa late 18th/early 19th century. Faience is a style of glazed earthenware pottery that was a cheaper substitute of porcelain back when porcelain was not produced in Europe. The glazing was required to make the piece water tight unlike stoneware. Many factories sprouted up to produce faience with a large number of faience factories located in and near Germany. This beer stein is painted with a musical player outside near a river with a small village on the opposite shore. Glazing shows some minor cracking present throughout with some minor chips on bottom edge and one chip near rim on top inside of beer stein. Pewter lid are intact with some minor dirt and tarnishing. Inside of pewter lid is marked "10%". Hand spun and formed. Faint outline of possible stamp visible on bottom. Measures 10.25"T x 6.75"W. See photos.
