Absolutely beautiful and sexy Romeo & Juliet (Julia) porcelain Masskrug. NOTE: White spots are light reflections
Owner’s name nicely engraved. I cannot make out third letter?
Deep engraving of 1L and calibration mark - c. 1900
No maker’s marks, but interesting discoloration marks on base
westerwald Masskrug / Maßkrug 1L Saltglaze beer stein with a stunning porcelain inlay of Romeo & Juliet or in German (Romeo & Julia). Beautiful design and bright colors. Nice thumblift. Lid a little looseness, but firmly affixed.
The owner’s name is engraved on lid: “Pepi”. Pepi is a common nickname, especially in Austria and southern Germany. It is typically used as a diminutive for Josef (Joseph). Like, “Joe” in English.
The “1L” capacity and calibration marks on the (top front center) is also a date characteristic.
Dates back to c.1900
The body of this stein is in fine condition for its age.
