Large Antique Blue and White Porcelain Beer Stein Delft Style w/Lithophane by Swaine and Co. Description: Presented is a large antique German porcelain beer stein made around early 1900s. Beautiful hand-painted picture decorations in underglaze flow cobalt-blue. This type of decoration is called "Delft style" and usually associated with Dutch porcelain.
