    Imperial Stein

    Recently acquired this Imperial stein. I was impressed with the quality but I have no knowledge of steins, just not my collecting field. Appreciate all opinions.

    Thanks very much in advance.

    Nice Wuerttemberger Stein from the 180th Infantry Regiment. Should you decide to sell it I might be a buyer.

        Should you not be aware of it the soldier's last name Weng is also found in the lower right company listing near the handle. Could we please see a pic of the lower front ribbon which has info about his unit and years of service?

          What a nice honest stein

          amazing bit of Wurttemberg history. Looks like he trained between 1903 to 1905. Would have been called up as a second line reservist probably in 1915 or 16. I wonder if he or how many of the other soldiers on that company list survived WW1.

          Thanks for showing,

          Chris

            Hopefully these are the photos you requested. If you'd like anymore please let me know. Thanks to everyone for the information.

              Thanks for posting these. He served in the 5th company of the 10th Wuerttemberg Infantry Regt. 180, stationed in Gmuend from 1901 till 1903. Thereafter he would go into the reserves. The image inside in the bottom is called a lithopane and shows a typical scene. Since it is already cracked be careful not to put anything in it that would finish breaking it. Loose coins dropped inside were supposedly often the cause of such breaks. The two sets of red/black painted rings around the upper and lower body are the Wuerttemberg state colors. At the bottom center you have the red-white-black German national colors on the left and the Wuerttemberg colors again on the right. Most of the wording is printed on the mug but some hand-applied wording is also evident, the dates and unit information and name. The little white dots on the shields are hand painted as well and are obvious to the touch.

                2 Imperial steins

                Hello,
                Can you tell me if these two steins are genuine? They have no lithophane. Are there had genuine steins without lithophane?
                Thank you for your answers.

                  Yes there are. The ones made from traditional stone clay or pottery have no lithophane,

                    Would you be good enough to tell me the stein's approximate value? Thank you in advance.
