Antique Early German Saltglazed Stoneware Beer Stein Birnkrug Muskau c. 1820s
Antique Early German Saltglazed Stoneware Beer Stein Birnkrug Muskau c. Description: The beer steins made before 1850s 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 early 1800s, around 1820s, it is guaranteed old give ot take 10 years. It was made in the town of Muskau – on the very East of Germany at the border with Poland. This brown-glazed “Birnkrug” or “pear-shaped stein” in German, was very popular during the first half of 1800s. The Muskau factory produced them in large quantities in all kinds of sizes. The Muskauer stoneware was slightly lighter with thinner walls than it’s Westerwald counterpart, but still very sturdy and strong. The stein is decorated with floral rosettes in the central frieze higlighted with black glaze – the distinctive Muskau type of decor. There is also the so-called “chip-carving” decorations between the rosettes. The lid is pewter with the thumblift in form of the sitting crowned lion, and large closed type hinge – the absolute signs of pre-industrial production. There is also a pewter foot ring and lip ring. The lid is engraved with initials J. ” and number “12 – this is the tavern number used to identify the stein in a tavern. Many people in old Germany and even in the modern times kept their personal beer steins in their favorite tavern. The stein is in a good condition – there is a tight line in the neck, but nothing else – no chips or cracks, the pewter is in excellent shape. That’s a very good condition for a 200 years old piece. The stein is 10 tall to the top of the thumblift, about 1.5L capacity. I guarantee the authenticity. Condition: Tight line in the neck, otherwise excellent.

Two Antique Small Early German Stoneware Beer Steins Rheinland Raeren c. 1500s
Group of Two Antique Small Early Stoneware Beer Steins Rheinland Raeren c. Description: I will be posting this week several very early German beer steins. They date back to 1500s – 1600s and were 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. These simple but very elegant pair of beer steins is very old. It dates back to late-1500s and was made in the town of Raeren – one of the most important centers of early stoneware production in Germany. The production of Rheinland stoneware (and proto-stoneware) was exported all over Northern Europe – Flanders, Netehrland, Estonia in the East and England in the West. They are made of gray stoneware with no decorations. They were dipped in liquid slip of iron-rich clay before firing to get this beautiful brown color, and salt-glazed. One has a chip to the upper rim – other than that no problems or issues apart from minor manufacturing glitches. The second one shows minor chips and is missing its handle. There is no repairs or restorations. It looks like the break on the handle was glaze – the handle broke-off during the drying process before the firing. It did not prevent the stein from production. These are beautiful pieces with several centuries behind it! I guarantee my description and my dating. The tallest one is 4″ tall, the other one is 3.75″ tall, approx. 25 L capacity each.

Smaller Antique Early German Beer Stein Bartmann Bellarmine Style Frechen circa late 1500 – early 1600s. Description: I will be posting this week several very early German beer steins They date back to 1500s – 1600s and were 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, Sieburg, Frechen and Raeren. This beer stein is one of the oldest beer drinking vessels. It dates back to the years of late 1500s – early 1600s and was made in the town of Frechen – one of the most important centers of early stoneware production in Germany. It is made in the tradition of “Bartmann” or “Bellarmine” beer steins of the same shape and color without the applied decorations. The bearded man steins from Frechen are the most classical of all the Bartmann pieces. They were produced for over a century and exported in large quantities to England, Scandinavia and the New World. It is estimated that between 1600 and 1640 approximately 10 million pieces were delivered to London and subsequently to all parts of the world. The stein is made of gray saltglazed stoneware with the applied slip of iron-rich clay that created this distinctive Frechen brown glaze. There is no applied or impressed decorations. The stein is in good condition for about 400 – 450 years old. Most of the Bartmannskruege are repaired or restored. This one has a chip at the neck and no repairs and cracks. It has a plate at the bottom that was applied at the time of manufacturing. This is a beautiful and very impressive piece that has about 400 years behind it! I guarantee my description and my dating. I have attached a photo of a very similar jug from Peter Breugel the Elder painting of the mid 1500s. This is a smaller stein – about 6.5 tall, 0.2L capacity. Condition: Chip on neck.
