Pewter Marks

Brewery stein

The Maß (pronounced Mass) is the Bavarian word describing the amount of beer in a regulation mug, in modern times exactly 1 litre (33.8 US fl oz). This example does not have a capacity mark, which could indicate that it was manufactured prior to 1887 (the year capacity marks were required by law).

The swirls indicate that the stein was made on a potter`s turn-table. The swirls are caused by a wire used to remove the stein from the potter`s turn table.

Regimental stein - Is it real or a reproduction

 Only reason I suggest it is a Regimental is due to the lithophane below.

A hand painted pressed glass stein

I really enjoy this stein. 

I believe it is old, due to the hand painted flowers and the date of the mark on the bottom of the stein.

Sachsische Glasfabrik August Walther & Sohne A. G. / Sachsenglas

 Identifier Crown with S & G inset on featured stein, first registered in 1897.

(as per site " www.steinmarks.co.uk ") 

Lithophane

This is one of my first lithophane steins.

I have tried to search for this tower, but to no avail.

All pewter stein

This is my first all pewter stein, I again know very little about this stein.

Munchen

I know little about this stein.

Passed on a Mettlach

When I knew even less about steins than I do know, I was in a store that had this lovely stein and a Mettlach stein. I chose this stein, I stand by my choice (Ok I would have bought both).

Freut Euch Des Lebens

The artist may be Franz Ringer.

 

Update:  The artist may be Franz Wrestler.

"Freut euch des lebens" (Enjoy Life), is a waltz composed by Johann Strauss II and premiered in Vienna in 1870.

My First Stein

This was my first stein I am not sure who manufactured the stein nor the year.

I have searched for "ANNO 1725", but again found little. 

 

Update: Vintage Goebel Pewter Lidded Beer Stein/Tankard - Bavaria, West Germany.
