Description:
This very interesting German beer stein belongs to the family of character steins - steins made in a shape of an object or person. They are also called "figural".
This particular one is made in a shape of a
happy smiling nun
. H
er
head forms the lid. Made of the very tan pottery with pewter mounts.
The nun character steins are relatively rare - there were many
differ
ent monk steins made by various manufacturers in the
late 1800
s - early 1900s
but only few nuns.
The monk (and nun) character steins were very popular in Germany because usually the monasteries and monks were associated with beer brewing and drinking.
Manufactured by
Marzi and Remy - one of the most famous beer stein manufacturer -
around 1880 - 1890s. There was also made a matching monk stein #8670. I have it in my inventory and will be posting it soon.
The stein is in excellent flawless condition. It is 7" tall to the top of the head, 0,5L capacity.
