Catalog No. 3282
Stoneware, Bavaria-type (incised), 0.5L, inlaid lid.
This was a special order stein produced circa 1910 for the firm of Karl Sch�ssel, a Munich retailer. A stamp on the rear of the stein (below right) would appear to indicate that it was part of a series, but if so, no additional examples are currently known. The stein is marked �BAVARIA� on the base, as are all others produced by the Mettlach factory using this body style (i.e., #3282). Note, however, that except for this example, the �BAVARIA� designation was applied exclusively to steins with numbered transfer decorations, while the image on this stein is both unnumbered and incised.
Price Range: $5,500-$7,000
