Offered in this sale is an antique German stoneware pewter lidded stein decorated with a carved or incised American eagle and shield flanked by flags and sun rays behind. The banner in the eagles beak reads E Pluribus Unum. It is impressed Germany on the underside of the base along wit...h a circular monogram mark for Merkelbach & Wick. It measures roughly 8 1/4" tall x 3 7/8" in diameter across the base. The condition is very good. If you look closely at the images you will note that the finial is ever so slightly tilted in the direction of the handle. I did not want to attempt to straighten it and possibly cause damage not knowing what I was doing so I will leave that up to the high bidder. Many collectors might just leave it as be. Otherwise the strap and handle mount is nice and tight and the cover closes securely in place. The stoneware body of the stein is free of any chips, cracks, flakes, hairlines or restoration of any kind. A really nice piece just in time for the 4th of July. Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail of the decoration and the condition and do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images. I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid. The shipping cost within the United States is $8.00The last five images illustrate just a few of the many other items I have and will be posting separately for sale on Ebay from several different collections daily throughout the month including a vintage carved wood Balinese panel, a mid century Lisa Larson for Gustavsberg Sweden cat sculpture from the Stora Zoo series, a unique Historical American scene carved abalone - mother of pearl - shell with a view of the Capital Washington, a number of original Jean Pierre Gault - St Paul de Vence stoneware miniature Paris buildings, an Albert Jacob Thewalt - Hauber Reuther lidded stein, a collection of over forty vintage original blue Cyanotype photographs and real picture postcards as well as more than a one hundred early press and wire photos dating from the early to mid 1900s, several mixed metal Japanese stamp - pill boxes, a selection of stamps from the personal collection of James Glanville formed when he was a young boy and who was later a founding partner of Lazard Freres, a number of other early Chinese stamped cover letters and stamps, a number of pieces of scenic Staffordshire china, and I am also continuing to post an eclectic mix of antique to contemporary china glass and accessories including flow blue china, Rosenthal porcelain, Scandinavian and Murano art glass, antique photo albums and photographs, as well as other 18th - 20th century American, English, Continental and Chinese ceramics, porcelain, glass and accessories.
