Antique Mettlach "Student" German Beer Stein #1643 1/2 L Tapestry Late 19th Cent

On this stein a student who is a member of a dueling student society is sitting on his chair with his faithful dog at his side. The student is drinking out of a tapestry stein. Production date on tapestry steins is 1885-1905 "Dieber Bier als Derdruk und Aerger Teblurken Undrauchdabei so vertreibft du dir die Mucken" Giving a general definition that fits every tapestry stein is impossible. All of the tapestry steins are gray bodied. In addition, tapestry steins generally have an etched raised panel, a pewter lid, and a verse etched into a relief banner located on the rear of the stein under the handle. However, these features do not appear on all tapestry steins.
