One of a Kind?

![]() The grapes are a highly unusual decoration for a German beer stein; much more appropriate for drinking wine! It includes a lithophane of a seated man playing a zither for two women. The five-ring hinge tells us that it was made about 1900 or so. No manufacturer's mark, nor is there a capacity mark, leading me to speculate that this may be a "one of a kind." |
