This stein was most likely made in the Bavarian section of
Germany in the late 1800s by the company Theresienthal. They
are known for their 'amber' and 'olive' colored glass as well
as the appendages on the outside of the glass called "prunts."
Prunts were put on glass drinking vessels originally when
people were still eating without utensils. Since hands were
often greasy, holding a smooth glass could be difficult. It
the glass had 'prunts' it was easier to hang on to a glass
if one was holding one with prunts. This piece is
inventory # TK125-010 and is priced at $195. It is in fabulous
condition.
Glass wine
goblet is made of clear glass and stands about 6 inches tall.
It is expertly enameled with transparent enamels and depicts
beautiful yellow flowers. The enameling on the hand blown finely
shaped glass goblet is bold and very well done. Price
$100.00.
Clear glass
steins and all the embellishment work done on them is under-rated
in my opinion. This clear glass stein is enameled with initials
in the center front cartouche. It has a cut base with a star
burst pattern. The body of the stein is faceted, cut and decorated
with enameling and gold. The lid is of good quality. Condition
is great. Inventory #: TK10-01 Price: $225.00
Yet another
Theresienthal goblet from the late 1800s. This one is also about
7 inches tall and has the characteristic olive color, the band
of enameled white dots, the gold lines and the distinctive enameled
flower decoration. Price: $100.00
This clear
glass stein has an hourglass shape with a very low pedestal
base. The stein is faceted and cut with many decorations with
the sharp, crisp edges for which cut glass is known. The lid
is of good quality and the condition of the piece is excellent.

This clear
glass stein has a very low pedestal base with cut facets, and
circular cuts as well as the starbursts which alternate up and
down the body of the late 1800s stein. The pewter work is very
nice and well done and the condition of the stein is excellent.

This is a style of stein known as a ‘pole glass’
due to its long slender shape. This particular one is made of
opaline glass that has been enameled with flowers and gold and
silver or platinum decoration. The lid is silver and the handle
has probably been broken off at some point in the past (before
I owned it) and repaired with a brass fitting that has been
attached to the still- perfect body. A smaller perfect stein
similar to this one (also pictured for comparison) sold in the
Ron Fox auction on May 1, 2010 for over $2500. Inventory
number: S-301 Price: $1500.00
This is an
early (dated 1813 on the lid) cut glass stein with a flared
base, polished pontil, heavy handle what is flat on the inside
and rounded on the outside with a curl at the bottom attachments.
The thumblift is in the shape of an urn and is on top of the
lid instead of over the hinge. Very nice early stein.
Inventory number TK-0020-08. Price $225.00
These steins
have been together for well over one hundred years. Finding
a pair of cut glass steins in wonderful condition is not at
all common. Both steins are slightly larger than 1⁄4 liter
in volume with a large pedestal base. The handles are quite
vigorous and round all the way around. The pewter work is nicely
done with extra work at the edge of the lid which holds a faceted
clear glass insert. The thumb lifts are identical also—a
well defined gnome walking and pouring a cup of beverage from
a pitcher. Price per pair only: $210.00
This stein
is made of two layers of glass, cobalt blue with a white glass
overlay. In places the white glass has been cut away to leave
the blue design. This was a fancy and rather expensive technique
used to decorate glass in the 1800s. The pewter lid on this
stein has a porcelain hand painted insert. Beautiful piece with
no damage. Price: $495.00
This 12 inch
tall perfect, light green Theresienthal pokal is expertly enameled
in the style for which Theresienthal is known. It has large
flowers that twine around the body of the pokal. The flowers
have a distinctive shape and distinctive orange and blue coloration.
The body has white dots in lines around the kpedestal base as
well as on the main body. Gold enameled lines decorate both
the base and the body. And on the most bulbous portion of the
pokal , a row of white darts has been enameled for additional
interest and color. Price: $175.00
This green
glass and enameled drinking horn is a novelty drinking item
made in the style of the earlier drinking vessels. The coat
of arms is enameled as well as the rim and the small end of
the 'horn.' One circular holder made to string a small rope
or chain through for hanging the item when not in use has been
broken off. Hence the low price of only $85.00 |
