Antique German/Bohemian Glass Beer Stein Enameled Van Hauten Style c.1900
:: This beautiful crystal glass beer stein was made around early 1900s. It is made of blown glass with applied handle. The stein is handpainted with enamel - very impressive painting job - the enamel is high raised creating almost relief-like decoration. It shows a Renaissance gentleman playing a lute. The inscriptions reads:
"Allweil fidel ohne Trug und Hehl"
(Always jolly without deceit and concealment.) .
The steins of this kind came mostly from Bohemia - then part of Austian Empire, now Czech Republic. The style of the decorations and such a heavy enameling was the signature style of Friedriech van Hauten, the most famous enamelist of the period.
The stein is in excellent mint condition - not a single flaw. It stays 8" tall to the top of the thumblift, 0.5L capacity.
