Imperial German pottery Reservist's Stein of Uhlan Gefreiter Grolzmann

Description

Imperial German mint pottery Uhlan stein. This 1/2 liter stein belonged to Gefreiter Grolzmann who served from 1905 to 1908. Lance corporal Grolzmann served in the Uhlan regiment "King Karl" 1st Wurttemberg Number 19, 4th Squadron garrisoned in Ulm and Wiblingen. This regiment was raised in 1683 and makes it the oldest Cavalry regiment. The stein was produced by Merkelbach & Wick. The roster on this rare pottery stein is short, 29 strong. It is very legible with no fading. The pewter strap is tight to the handle with no movement. The finial is an Uhlan at full gallop on his trusty steed leaping a fence row. The only thing missing from the finial is the regimental lance. A small thing on a stein that is over 100 years old. Fortunately, I have a replacement, which will be included (the buyer will have to attach it.) The left side scene shows a company of charging Uhlans at full gallop charging towards the enemy. The bottom scene shows a scouting party on patrol. The center scene shows an Uhlan astride his horse with the regimental Kaserne behind him. Below is King Wilhelm the 2nd who reigned from 1891-1918. Flanking him are the regimental cypher and the shield of the Kingdom of Wurttemberg. The right scene on the stein shows an Uhlan bidding his "madchen" farewell as the bugler blows his trumpet. The lower scene, a skirmish line of Uhlans. Inside the stein is an old paper sticker with what I believe was the original price of this rare piece. The stein doesn't contain any cracks, chips, or damage. Don't miss the opportunity to own a rare pottery reservist’s stein over 100 years old. Guaranteed unaltered and original to the period. Transit fees for these fragile pieces of history is expensive. Each stein purchased from me will be double boxed with new, heavy-duty shipping containers sent via FedEx ground, The costs are per stein. IMPORTANT: FedEx requires a physical address​ I am not able to combine shipping because shipping more than one stein per package presents a danger of breakage to both pieces. No shipments outside the continental United States. Ask all questions before you bid, as all sales are final. Payment is due within 24 hours of the auction's close. Translation of the inscription: Es lebe Hoch die cavalleie Here's to the cavalry. Wenn Ulanen patroullieren und den starksten Feind aufspuren. When Uhlan patrol they seek out the strongest enemy. Die trompete ruft zum Scheiden. Drum, mein Madchen, lebe wohl. The bugle blows and we must part. Therefore my dear girl we must part. So Lang ich lebe werd ich nie vergessen. Ich bin ein lanzen-reiter beuitchen cavallerie.. As long as I live I will never forget I'm a lancer in the beautiful cavalry. Payment is due within 24 hours of the auction's close.
