Pitcher - Ceramic, Pewter

This is a vintage German pitcher made from ceramic and fitted with a richly decorated pewter lid. What makes this piece stand out is the hand-painted decoration: a continuous scene of haloed figures, likely depicting apostles or saints, rendered in soft colors and fine brushwork. The style is simple but expressive, giving the stein a warm, almost folk-art character. The pewter lid is solid and beautifully detailed, with layered ornamentation and a classic thumb lift. It is stamped “Zinn”, confirming the use of pewter On the base, the stein is marked “Handgemalt” (hand-painted), along with model/reference marks (HK87 and additional numbering), which supports its authenticity as a German handcrafted piece. The overall style and markings suggest production in the 1950s–1960s. This is both a decorative collectible and a functional object, ideal for display in a collection or interior with character. Details: Material: ceramic body with pewter lid (Zinn) Decoration: hand-painted religious figures Height: approx. 26 cm Width: 18 cm including the hanger Base diameter: 11 cm Capacity: 1 L Condition: good vintage condition, with normal signs of age (see photos) Origin: Germany Period: circa 1950s–1960s The pitcher will be carefully packed and shipped with tracking number and insurance.
