Mettlach Signed H. Schlitt "Kannenburg" #2764 0.5 L Stein, 1903
Mettlach Signed Half-liter beer stein by Heinrich Schlitt for Villeroy & Boch depicts a knight mounted on his charger enjoying a final drink before battle. The exceptionally detailed, etched decoration extends to various other colorfully rendered scenes from medieval life, including a brick tower that surmounts the pewter lid. This fine example also retains its original Greek warrior thumblift, a quality that makes this stein very desirable. Stein Number 2764. Measures 9 3/4" High x 5.5" wide. Base: 4" diameter
Among the most well-known and highly regarded manufacturers from the "golden age" of German beer stein production in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is the Villeroy & Boch factory at Mettlach. Located on the grounds of a former Benedictine abbey on the Saar river in southwest Germany, the factory was originally established in 1809 by Johann Franz Boch-Buschmann, who merged with competitor Nicholas Villeroy in 1836 to create the firm of Villeroy & Boch.
9 3/4" High x 5.5" wide. Base: 4" diameter
