I am not sure if this stein is worth anything? Am not sure of the history of it. I have found similar ones on some sites but not this one in particular. There are 2 men sitting at a table and a lady who maybe seems to be could be holding a hat or drying dises...not sure. I t has wording 'Bier u.frohes Cied' and 'macht nielebens mud' There is half of a Made in Germany stamp on the base along with the makers mark.
I am submitting this for a friend, so my information is somewhat limited, but I have included some good photos.
My friend received this chair in the early 70's and it was considered to be old at that time, not new.
Chair looks to be hand made, with hand carved images of what looks like either Gnomes or Wizards on top. A three headed/faced wizard looking character is carved into the front of the seat back along with tree or leaf pattern. An elephant, a bird and some type of fish/serpent are carved into the legs. There are no nails, everything is held together with wooden bolts.
We are mostly interested in what this type of chair might be called. Is it one of a kind? And where such a chair may have been created. Country of origin, perhaps a time period.
I have a pair of these andirons. Each one has 7 pieces of siver held together along with an iron bar for the wood. Very detailed. Trying to find out age, country of origin and value.
