Wick Werke - Jug - Model Number: 5010 - Salt-glazed Stoneware

Large 2L Jugendstil Beer Stein - Wick Werke - Model 5010 - Cobalt Blue & White Relief

This impressive German stoneware pitcher (beer stein) is an authentic piece of historical ceramics from the renowned Wick Werke AG (formerly Merkelbach & Wick), located in Grenzhausen, Germany. Produced in the early 20th century (circa 1921-1930), this item represents the transition from late Jugendstil to early Art Deco aesthetics.

The pitcher features a deep cobalt blue glaze, decorated with a striking white relief pattern of stylized curls and teardrop motifs. This specific pattern, known as model number 5010, is a classic example of the "Neukeramik" movement, where traditional Westerwald salt-glaze techniques were combined with modern, avant-garde designs.
