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.

We have called it the 12 Apostles Jug as that what appears to be the design. MIGHT be interested to sell, depending on value.

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.

I have a set of these. The only other distinguishing marks are Made In Japan on the bottom

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.

My mother used to play this accordian all the time, but none of us know how to play it. It has great sound, but the leather straps have dried out. None of the keys are missing or stick. I was told that it is worth more in it's original condition, so I did not replace the strap.
