Keferloher Masskrug / Maßkrug

From the collection of Jorge O. Soriano

Keferloher Masskrug / Maßkrug

Nice acorn thumb-lift and 2” ring around base

I will take quality pictures ASAP. These do not do her justice!

Beautifully designed lid

Magnificent Kerferloher

Fine condition all around for c. 1880s stein

You can see the potter’s lines, again, making it unique and adding to its character

No marks inside of lid

2” pewter ring around base continues to protect this stein

Notice top part of the body narrows. Not sure if this further helps date this stein?

Keferloher Masskrug / Maßkrug

No capacity or calibration marks. Appears to be a 1 L. Maß nonetheless.

Beautiful woman painted on the porcelain inlay with artistically designed pewter lid. The base has a solid pewter 2” ring.

c. 1880s

Note: Previous owner from Northern Bavaria had this stein in family for many years dates it to 1880s. He is also the one who called it a “Keferloher”, quite appropriately I believe. No marks.

What is a Keferloher? As is often the case with historical information, the more you learn, the more you want to dig for deeper understanding and meaning.
