Description
You're purchasing a really outstanding example of an early, authentic and original figural and lidded German beer stein. It features multiple figures and themes. It has a large aristocratic man, a fox after some grapes and a bar maid holding several beers on the lid. It's extremely unique and attractive. I did a google translate on the german text and it says "the little fox is a wise man, it does not enjoy sour grapes." It also says "the rest trunk is a serious duty, a drinking lamp does not shine." Obviously there is an issue with the second translation as (rest trunk) doesn't mean much to me but I'm sure there's a better translation out there.The stein is stamped on the bottom Germany and the numbers 161 and 9.
Now onto the issues which I have taken pains to photograph. There's a repaired crack on the base and bottom. There are also multiple repairs to the lid. First, the lid itself is cracked and glued in two places. As well the base of the bar maid is glued and repaired. Lastly the head of the bar maid is also glued and repaired. So this piece is not without it's issues. It's still extremely attractive and presents beautifully. Due to the damage I have priced it to sell. Obviously you are buying it "as is." Kindly examine the close ups and determine you're own opinion as to the value. Without the damage I'm sure this would go for 0+. Thanks for looking.
