An estate find here is this vintage stein with a heavy pewter lid top. The design reminds me of Scandinavian rosemaling or Germany design. . I believe it to be either ironstone or heavy porcelain (like restaurant dishes), which one I am not certain. This is a substantial piece...nothing flimsy in either the stein body or the pewter. Just look at the sturdy hinge on this piece. It is not marked so I do not know who manufactured it. My guess is that it is Germany but I just don't know.
This dates back to the 1950's. It stands approx. 6 1/2" to the top of the pewter knob. This piece was filthy when I got it but I cleaned it up and carefully checked it out. There are no cracks or chips and the pewter is in very good condition with no dents on top. There is a line around the interior of the pewter lid from where it sits on the mug. I only note it for full disclosure. The heavy pewter hinge is also in great shape. The lid fits the top of the stein well.
