Poacher Stein
5 liters (!) Height approx. 62 cm (!) (approxl. 24 1/2")
A historical scene shows a poacher which was just caught.
A hunter has him firmly under control by grabbing his ear. The poorly dressed poacher holds the rabbit he caught in one hand and the aching ear with the other. The hunter on the right seems being ready to confront the poacher.
The motif was modeled with a lot of effort and attention to detail.
The motif’s “back-ground” was decorated with cobalt blue, the re-cessed areas of the reliefs were decorated with underglaze colors.
After firing the stein, additional colors were applied via hand-painting and, again, the stein had to be fired – but this time at “only” 560° Centigrade.
Two script bands run around the stein.
The top reads: Hunter's tale thrives with beer and wine and the text on the base it says "Forest, game and hunting - nothing beats these three."
The subtle initials “K.B.” were de-bossed into the relief. He must have been very proud of his work so that he wanted to “immortalize” himself in the relief.
The heavy, richly ornamented pewter lid continues the tall, slender ??shape.
The stein was probably made around 1960-1970.
