Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:1301239 | Featured Refinements: Mettlach Stein |
Mold No. 1396German ceramic, etched, 1/2L, inlaid ceramic lid.The text on the lid reads: "Wohl bekomms!"
And translates to: "To your health!"Signed C. Warth
Condition and Description: Overall in excellent condition. The stein's lid appears as though it may have been repaired - or at a minimum the lid's underside was painted white(perhaps to cover some staining?). Otherwise, a wonderful stein with strong color and great presentation. I espe...cially like the cat in the shield, which if I recall correctly, is symbolic of a hangover(just the cat and not the shield nor shield + cat combination).
Dimensions:
Height: ~8.3" tall from base to top of thumblift
Width: ~4.1" at the base of stein's body
