hand painted Adolf Hitler mug & two TR beer steins

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Just got these and wanted to share them with everyone. For my personal collection but if anyone could give an estimation of value I would like to have an idea. The Reichsparteitag stein is without swastika but I don't know how many Reichsparteitage they held after May 1945

Figured these would look cool on display with my other beer glass.

Thanks for sharing these with us, William. While I don't collect mugs and steins, I like the looks of these! The RPT commemorative stein was probably a big sales item in Nuremberg throughout the 1930s, and the piece celebrating War Christmas 1943 is a beauty, as well.

As I recall the history, beer steins were a mainstay among the 'weapons' used during political riots in beer halls throughout the Kampfzeit, so it is appropriate that many different kinds were created to celebrate Nazi occasions!

I like the RPT stein a lot.

Hi,

Nice steins!
I really like these salt glazed traditional drinking vessels, my favourite of yours is the Christmas 1943 commemorative; good to see a stein to a particular unit. I have two at the moment, a "pot bellied" RAD issue which has "Meine Arbeitsdienstzeit" above a depiction of an RAD cap badge with "1935" below the motif. The owners initials are engraved on the pewter cover.
The second is an SA stein with "Alles Fur Deutschland" on the front above an outstretched wing eagle (like a political SA cap badge) with the owners name "Hubert Gantner" in gold script below the eagle.
One of the best advantages of ceramic items is if they get dirty, wash them in warm water and they are again brand new!

Best wishes,

John.
