German Hunting Scene Beer Stein with Figural Lid

$30.00

Description

This impressive vintage German beer stein features a richly detailed hunting scene in relief around the body, depicting a stag among forest trees and foliage with classic Bavarian woodland imagery. The decorative lid is crowned with a charming three-dimensional figural group of a Bavarian couple in traditional dress with a small dog, adding exceptional display value. The stein appears to be ceramic or resin-based construction with hand-applied polychrome paint accents. The piece stands approximately 12-14 inches tall including the lid. Condition is good with minor age-related patina consistent with vintage pieces; no chips, cracks, or major damage observed. Paint shows slight wear on the highest relief points of the lid figures. This piece ships carefully double-boxed with ample bubble wrap protection. Please allow 1-2 business days for careful packaging. A wonderful addition to any German stein or Bavarian collectibles collection. Local pickup available.

This charming pair of footed pressed glass salt cellars exemplifies the decorative tabletop artistry popular in American and European households during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The bold swag-and-tassel cut pattern around the bowl rim and the faceted pedestal base reflect the period's love of ornate, light-catching glassware at even the most intimate scale. Salt cellars of this style were standard fixtures on Victorian and Edwardian dining tables, presented alongside individual salt spoons for each diner — a tradition that speaks to an era of formal entertaining and meticulous table setting. The generous open-bowl form suggests these may have also served as individual nut or condiment dishes. The matched pair format is particularly desirable among collectors, making these an attractive find for anyone assembling a period table setting or building a pressed glass collection.
