Stein
Collectors International Show and Tell |
May 2001 - from Alice Oakley Dear Webmaster, I saw Les Paul's "Largest Collection of Steins
in the
US" (COL 905 episode of HGTV's "Collectible Treasures) recently. I
found you on the Internet, but since I cannot email at present, I am
mailing a
photo of my one and only stein. If you would like to put it on your
page, you
will need a story! Editor's comments: This stein, produced in 1904, has noticeable characteristics of the artistic changes brought about by the Jugendstil, or Art Nouveau, movement: the design is simplified, geometric and repeating, the upright stalks evoking a plant form, while purpose and tradition are acknowledged by the wheat motif below the rim. |
