Description

European Solid Silver Mounted Capo Di Monte Style Porcelain Hand Painted Ceramic Tankard with Lion Finial and Gold Wash c 1890
Presented is a wonderful ceramic tankard or beer stein with a great marked silver lid and detailed figural lion. This stunning piece is marked for European solid silver made c1890 with a makers mark and possibly a city or province mark on the lid with another mark on the base of the ceramic stein. It has a detailed hand painted handle with a wild-man a delicate
butterfly
on the top of thumb behind the solid silver mounted ceramic hinge lid. The hand painted butterfly on the thumb seems to be painted on a matte Finnish that differs from the rest of the smooth glazing which may indicate the thumb was ground down to accommodate the silver mounted lid. This great tankard has a figural relief surround of warriors; some on horseback, in battle with lions and tigers with a heavy gold wash interior inside of cup with a bright finish. It is in lovely condition with only some minor pin-dings and no chips or cracks that I can see in the detailed ceramic with only some fine scratches from gentle use and care.
I have an interesting assortment of items listed so please look at my other auctions.
