Hi.

I just found very large, probably old beer stein and am wondering if anyone could be of help identifying it. It is hand thrown, blue and grey, salt glazed approx 14 inches tall. There are some crude sprigs on it, picturing biblical scenes, Adam and Eve, the Crucifiction and the birth of Jesus. Also, there is what looks to be some nice coggle work done on the potter's wheel around the top and bottom. All the sprigs and relief work have plenty of cobalt blue coloring.

The woman I bought it from said someone brought it back from England after the Second World War.

I am working on a picture, any information or help identifying it would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Erik
