"The Bavarian Lion" for Monsieur Witthohn

Uit de verzameling van Paulo Vik Falcon

"The Bavarian Lion" for Monsieur Witthohn.

Old-fashioned blown glass in a mold. Handmade. The engraving was made for a man with the French surname W. Witthohn.
There is no volume mark. This indicates that the mug was made before 1872, when Germany began implementing unified measurement standards. Unified measurement standards, including capacity standards, were established in Germany on January 1, 1872.On this day, a law came into force introducing a metric system of measures, including for capacity. 
The lever of the lifting hinge is made in the form of a Bavarian lion. This indicates the territory of residence of the customer for the manufacture of the lid for this mug. The ceramic insert in the lid depicts a natural landscape with the presence of buildings. It looks like these are types of terrain peculiar to Lower Bavaria.

The glass beer mug is best viewed in video format. You can watch a video about this mug at this link:
