German antique hunting beer mug made of porcelain "Deer on the shore of an Alpine lake". The capacity of the mug is 0.5 liters, the height is 20 cm. The image of a deer on German beer mugs symbolizes noble prey and hunting traditions.
In this case, the deer is depicted at the moment of rutting. He makes a roar, signaling to the females that they are ready to mate.
The bottom of this beer mug is made in lithophany technique.
Lithophany is the art of creating translucent images, where the picture appears only when illuminated from behind. The technique is based on different thicknesses of porcelain. Thin areas look lighter, thick areas look darker. In this case, when viewing the bottom of the mug in the light, you can observe a drawing with an erotic plot. Thus, the artistic design of the mug creates a complete picture.
The image of nude girls in lithophany gained popularity in Germany during the beginning of the occupation of the Bavarian lands by the United States. American soldiers, in memory of their service at military bases in Bavaria, Germany, ordered porcelain mugs with just such drawings that are visible at the bottom of the mug in the light. In the future, manufacturers of porcelain mugs began to use these images on hunting mugs for the Germans themselves.
In this case, the mug was made in the period 1960-1963 at the old Bavarian porcelain factory Gerold Porzellan.
