Bellarmine Jug Stein


 A nice Bellarmine or Bartmann (Bearded) jug stein which may be circa 1910. Original Bartmann / Bellarmine jug steins were manufactured in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.



 An original catalog picture of Reinhold Merklebach, Model 008 (c. 1910 - 1920). Reinhold Merklebach produced 45 Bellarmine Jug reproductions of steins that were in museum collections all over Germany.  The original of this jug stein came from Kunstgewerbemuseum in cologne.

 The lid of the stein has nice patina on the outside and is nice and shiny on the inside, which could suggest that it could be from 1910 - 1920.



Even though the jug stein has the desirable blueish clay, the possible sanding marks are a concern. I am unable to identify the mark.

My First J.W. Remy ?


 This is a very nice example of an Incised or Reetmachte stein.
It is believed to be a J.W. Remy from the capacity mark and the colours ( http://www.steinmarks.co.uk )
I have just learned that the small knowledge I have acquired about steins, is in fact even smaller lol


I am unsure about the mark in the middle, it resembles a "W" or a "2"
I believe the "Germany" mark indicates it was made for export



This is the capacity mark 


1/4L Pressed Glass Stein


 This is a small 1/4L pressed glass stein. The picture does not do it justice as it is quite nice.

 
The specs in the picture are trapped air bubbles in the glass, which I believe reveals that the stein is quite old.
