    # 2093 "Playing Cards"
    Description
    :
    Very desirable, collectable Mettlach Beer Stein - #2093 "Playing Cards".  This lidded stein or tankard has an inlay lid and "two acorns" figural thumb lift.  The hand-painted stein features the four suits of a playing card deck: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.
    The bottom shows the markings, which I believe dates the stein to circa 1901.  The markings on the bottom include Mettlach, 2093 (the pattern), 2 (unknown), 01 (year == 1901), II (1/2 liter), and "GES. GESCH." (roughly: registered trademark/patented design - first used in 1899).
    Item is approximately 6.25" tall and 4" diameter, not including handle.  Weight is 1.75# pounds.
    The condition is best seen by the photos.  To my eye, I see no chips or cracks or other damage to the stoneware, either the body, handle, or inlay lid.  The pewter lid has some wear, including a couple of bends.  I tried to photograph sufficiently so you can make your own determination as-to condition.  Please ask if you want to see something more closely.
