Hand Painted Ceramic Beer Stein or Tankard with Solid Silver Kruslokk or Lid with Hallmarks Johan  Pinter c1814 Bergen Norway

       Presented is an artful hand crafted tankard with a solid silver lid hallmarked for silver made by Johan Christian Pinter of Bergen Norway c1814. I have posted pictures of my research in the photos above. This beautiful stein has it all with an interesting blue, green, white and copper metallic painted detailing with a thumb or lever crafted with figural faces among stars and flowers. The top of the lid itself is engraved with a fine detailed star pattern and while it may not be original to the ceramic stein it fits well with only a little wiggle on its hinges. The thumb of the lid has come off and will need to be reattached for display. The ceramic cup does  have some cracks and past repairs with some crazing and minor chipping of glazing on outer edges. The hand hammered silver itself has only a few minor dings and no monogram with only some minor scratches from gentle use and care. This is a great piece with an outstanding patina and a fantastic piece for the collector of silver or tankards and beer steins.

       I have an interesting selection of items listed currently so please look at my other auctions.
