A collectible figurative beer mug made of porcelain "Drunken Monkey". The mug has a capacity of 0.5 liters and a height of 21 cm. The mug was manufactured in Germany at the Rastal Werk factory between 1970 and 1980. In the Rastal Werk product catalog, the mold for this mug has the number 1612. Its imprint can be seen on the outer surface of the bottom.
This shaped mug is a replica of a model that was originally developed in 1888 for the Schierholz & Sohn porcelain factory (founded in 1816). The author of the design of the model of the Drunken Monkey mug is the sculptor Edmund Haase, who was famous in Germany at the time (1850-1917 years of life).
Before joining Schierholz, Haase became famous for creating designs for the Meissen porcelain factory, which were used to decorate the Bavarian royal castles in Linderhof, Herrenchiemsee, Berg, and even Neuschwanstein, the "Castle of Dreams" of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. With such achievements, there is no doubt that Haase was one of the best sculptors of his time. In Schierholz, between 1886 and 1899, Haase was responsible for all the design work on the character-themed beer mugs produced in the late 19th century. As a result, Schierholz began producing the first character-themed mugs in 1886, and the "Drunken Monkey" model was among the first to be produced.
