Description: Antique German Faience Walzenkrug, beer stein, around 1760. 19 cm tall, diameter of the mouth ca. 10 cm. It is in good condition as shown in the pictures, rare type. France began the production of faience steins in the mid-17th century and the style was adopted through out the region. Faience was Europe's answer to the extremely expensive Chinese porcelain wares imported to the continent prior to the mid-18th century. The body of the stein was formed on the potter's wheel and fired in a kiln. Next, it was dipped into a milk-white tin glaze to produce a smooth, white surface similar to the porcelain it attempted to emulate. After drying, the stein body was painted with various colored glazes and fired a second time.
