AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
German collectible beer mug, historically known as Bierkrug or Stein. It presents a traditional style tied to the Historicism movement (Historismus) or Jugendstil, dating roughly from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
Characteristics of the Mug
The Body in Glass and the Prunten (bosses): The cylindrical transparent glass is decorated with horizontal bands in green glass and a series of rivets or droplets applied in relief, called Prunten (or Nuppen). This decorative technique echoes traditional Central European wine and beer glasses (such as the famous Römer stems or Waldglas), originally created to ensure a firmer grip with greasy hands.
The Pewter Lid: The hinged lid is made of pewter. This element was historically mandatory in German regions from the 16th century for hygienic reasons (to protect beverages from insects and dirt).
The Horn/Bone Decoration: The upper part of the lid houses an ornamental insert carved from a stag horn or bone, topped by a thumb lever (Anreibe) that reproduces a branch of horn. This design suggests a connection to hunting-related memorabilia, very popular in Germany and Austria around the turn of the century.
