there are 3 men, 2 sitting on a log at a table. while the 3rd in the middle appears to be serving them. there is also a small lip. it appears to have been made that way, it is smooth. it does need cleaned, however i have not noticed any chips.
i can't get the photo loader to work, so i included links to photos. i hope that is ok. thank you for any help you can give. none of the antique dealers in town can tell me anything about this stein.
This item was given to my mother by a Mr Snow in England in about 1972. He was a collector of Dresden China and said that this figurine was one of only 100 made of its size. We MAY consider selling, depending on its worth.
The lid is pewter with porcelain inlay. The scene in the porceline is that of a woman. On the underside of the lid there is engraving, the inscription reads: "Hefse H. Engel" and below that "Weihenstephan.Juli.1872". The underside of the lid is also stamped D Beill. The thumb lift is a depiction of what looks like a bearded man or gnome.
