Description: I will be posting this week several very early German beer steins from 1500 - 1600s. This rough and simple beer stein is very old. It dates back to early-1500s and was made in the "Rhineland" - the region in Germany by the river Rhine where traditionally the early stoneware production took place. The most important towns to produce the stoneware were Cologne, Siegburg, Frechen and Raeren. It is hard to tell where exactly this particular stein was made since it is generic vessel made of the so-called proto-stoneware. The stein is plain and simple and the steins of this type are not so rare. The condition is good with some restorations done but not very severe. This is a beautiful piece with several centuries behind it! I guarantee my description and my dating. The stein is 4" tall, approx. 0.3L capacity.
