Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1452341 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany |
| Featured Refinements: Antique Beer Stein |
This is an antique 1/2L Student German Beer Stein by Merkelbach and Wick with a hand-painted raised relief of a black and red shield surmounted by a plumed knight's helmet and gorget. The side panels say "Furchtlos und Trew". It has a fancy pewter lid with a figural thumb lift of a woman's face, and the body of the stein has a beaded upper and lower rim.
There is considerable crazing on the stein and some discoloration of the cream-colored body, perhaps staining or... yellowing from smoke, but there is no smoke smell to the stein. There is a faint M&W mark on the bottom, which you may able able to see by zooming in on the last two photos, but again, it is very faint.
