Stein:Japan 8″ Lustreware Relief Art Beer Stein

Vintage… Japan… 8″….Peach Lustreware Trim… Relief Art of Man & Woman… Beer Stein. Marked on the bottom “Japan”. This lovely beer stein measures approximately 8″ high x 3″ (top) diameter x 4 3/8″ (bottom) diameter and 5 3/4″ wide (widest point from end of handle to end of stein). This stein features a peach lustreware top and bottom trim with relief art (front) of a man at a table sitting on a barrel drinking from a stein and a woman sitting at the table as well with one arm on the table and the other holding what appears to be a loaf of bread. There is a lovely mountain scene in the background with trees on both sides of the man and woman. The back of the side features relief art of houses/castles and trees. The handle is made to look like a twisted tree bark. NOTE: there is 1 chip at the bottom edge of the stein and I have marked the price down accordingly due to this minor flaw. Beer steins and mugs are not only functional but engaging works of art and can become a great collectible and stunning addition to your d?cor. Their appeal is wide reaching due to their craftsmanship and subject matter; and they often appreciate in value. there are no other nicks, chips or cracks, other than the above forementioned. Great piece to add to your collection! In good, used condition.
