Theresienthal [2] Glass beer steins; Florals, Munich Child, Coats of Arms, Medieval People.

PAGE TWO – Collectors, also please remember because I am using a collection of photos taken at different times at different places, by different people, with different lighting; the colors of the “TH” light green-yellow steins are going to vary greatly.

Below: Non-server TH steins with the gold trim around the leaves and flowers:

Large “C” handle, .5 liter [FWTD]

Nice delicate workmanship. [RFA]

Same body as above, but with an enameled glass inserted lid which I assume was more expensive given the labor involved.

Side view of above.  .5 liter. The pewter lid was done by G.Th.M. [FWTD]

      

 .5 liter. Lid by G.Th.M. 

  

   

.5 liter. [FWTD]

.5 liter, same stein body as above with a different lid. 

 .5 liter, with (I originally said=(a seldom found body shape)   [FWTD] but now given two shown below / posted later ,  I am not too certain!

Same body style as just above with a different design.

.

.5 liter. ‘C” handle and  body style as the two above . [Photo: eBay’s BEER-STEIN]

 

.5 liter. The gold flower trim is mostly worn off.

 

 .5 liter. Silver plated lid. 

.5 liter. Very nicely done. Comes with a different body style and a silver lid. I wish it was here at the SM & T.

.5 liter. Not many TH’s found with pewter bases = more costly! [FWTD]

  

[RFA]

Above,  just two great looking TH glass steins: Just above: .5 liter. It looks larger due to the pedestal base, with unusual “sea shell’ prunts. A real eye and dollar catcher!

WITHOUT THE GOLD TRIM ON THE FLOWERS:

 

.25 liter. [FWTD]   

.5 liter

 

.5 liter.  With an unusual Mermaid thumblift. [FWTD] 

     

 

       

.5 liter.

.5 Liter– The design is slightly different than both above. [FWTD]

     

Above and below: Both .5 liters.

.5 liter. ‘C” handle and different body style. [Photo: eBay’s BEER-STEIN]shown above also.

Another type of floral and not too exciting [for me!]

A ,5 liter “lidless” stein   – This piece has a indentation on the handle which servers the same purpose as an anchor hole. I think this was not too popular a design as I have only seen one of these since I started collecting TH pieces.

OTHER ENAMELED STEINS

Both .5 liter with different verses. [FWTD]

THE MUNICH CHILD

   

MUNICH CHILD STEINS  -these are  also called “Munich Maids ” Please see the article on the proper name / history of ‘this figure’ at: http://www.steincollectors.org/  ** Library **, then: “The History of the Munich Child  – The Beloved Symbol of Munich.”

.

                Not all Theresienthal’s ‘Munich Maids’ have the “red halo,” as the three above show. But the majority found will.     Notice that they all do have red shoes though.

.25 liter. [FWTD]

The capacity mark  so typical of  Thereseinthal work.

Above ▲Another version of the scene above but without a pewter base rim and it shows a  perfectly  mouth blown shaped “C”  handle

 

 Essentially the same PUG scene as on the .25 liter just above,  but a beer stein takes the place of the bible with the Red cross on it.

All others below are .5 liter.

  

[BOTH FWTD]

 

 

While this is a server (which are displayed on another page,  I have included it here also as another example of the Munich Maid and her relationship with the Munich brewers.

Set of “mini-beakers” for schnapps made by Theresienthal for the Eduard Rau Company.

Set of beakers, shot glass size.

Editor’s note:  A reader was nice enough to send me this photo of his Theresienthal Munich Maid stein. Unfortunately I do not think it is one.  Can you tell why? The red halo is not bright red and (hard to see) she has on dark, not red shoes!  The j ury is still out.  I’ll  need to see more examples of this.

ARMORIALS  / STUDENT’S SOCIETY STEINS

         

[L] A nice notched lid, made that way. Not a number  of duels!  [R] Another student society (dueling) stein, notice there are no small pair of crossed swords, however it has the German saying of

        

[L] Unknown arms                                             [R] Hungarian Royal Arms.

MEDIEVAL PEOPLE 

       

[L]  A one liter with pewter base.  [R] A well done 1/2 liter TH stein. Not seen often!  Lid and thumblift by G. Th. M.

        

[L] No extra charge for the replaced wooden/ copper[?] finial. [Lousy photo]

Photo as above, with much better coloration, and her colors have changed.

[SC] 

Two enameled steins of a series, scrolls and base prunts, same lid.

 

   

Both: More of the same series.

   

A different series and body styles.

        

        

Yet another series. Lids are by G.Th M. (Brothers Tannhauser, Munich.)
