Catalog No. 391
Pottery (Siegburg style), relief, 2.0L, pewter lid, signed “PD” (Peter Dümler).
A variation of this stein can be found with copper plating and a copper lid (below left) applied by L.Thannemann & Cie, a Munich finishing shop and distributor. A more primitive, unnumbered and apparently earlier version of this stein exists, configured to resemble an actual 16th century Siegburg Schnelle (below right).
According to the manufacturer’s catalog, the three scenes depict: Abrahams Opfer (Abraham’s Offer); Melchisedech (or Melchizedek, a biblical king of Jerusalem); and Einkehr der Fremdlinge (Entering of the Strangers).
Price Ranges Pottery: $125-$175 Copper plating: $250-$350
