COLLECTION OF THREE GERMAN CERAMIC STEINS WITH PEWTER LIDS - /B>

OVERVIEW:
A CHARMING COLLECTION OF THREE GERMAN CERAMIC STEINS, EACH FEATURING HAND-PAINTED FIGURAL DECORATION AND FITTED WITH PERIOD PEWTER LIDS AND THUMBLIFTS. THESE STEINS REPRESENT THE DECORATIVE TRADITION OF GERMAN CERAMIC PRODUCTION DURING THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES, COMBINING FUNCTIONAL DESIGN WITH ARTISTIC MERIT. THE COLLECTION DEMONSTRATES THE VARIETY OF DECORATIVE THEMES POPULAR DURING THIS ERA, INCLUDING PERIOD COSTUME FIGURES AND NARRATIVE SCENES.

SPECIFICATIONS:

LEFT STEIN:
- DECORATION: HAND-PAINTED FIGURE IN PERIOD COSTUME WITH BLUE AND BROWN TONES, ACCOMPANIED BY GERMAN TEXT INSCRIPTION READING "MACH ABER LEICHT BESORGLICHKEIT, MAN MAG ES ALLES VOM SCHICKEN HABEN" (A TRADITIONAL GERMAN SAYING)

- BASE MARK: TRIANGULAR MAKER'S MARK VISIBLE TO BASE

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:
ALL THREE STEINS FEATURE CERAMIC BODIES WITH APPLIED CERAMIC HANDLES AND FITTED PEWTER LIDS WITH BALL FINIALS AND HINGED THUMBLIFTS. THE HAND-PAINTED DECORATION IS APPLIED OVER A LIGHT CREAM OR OFF-WHITE GLAZE GROUND. THE BASES SHOW IMPRESSED OR PRINTED MAKER'S MARKS CONSISTENT WITH GERMAN CERAMIC PRODUCTION OF THE PERIOD.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT:
THE COLLECTION REPRESENTS GOOD CONDITION FOR STEINS OF THIS AGE. THE LEFT STEIN SHOWS THE MOST WEAR WITH A SMALL INTERIOR RIM CHIP AND MINOR CRAZING, BOTH COMMON FOR PIECES OF THIS PERIOD. THE CENTRE STEIN IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH VIBRANT, WELL-PRESERVED DECORATION. THE RIGHT STEIN SHOWS ONLY MINOR SURFACE WEAR. ALL PEWTER LIDS DISPLAY APPROPRIATE PATINA AND REMAIN FULLY FUNCTIONAL. NO EVIDENCE OF RESTORATION OR REPAIR IS APPARENT ON ANY OF THE THREE PIECES.
