Antique GERMAN Stoneware STEIN New York City 1900s COBALT BLUE Salt Glazed
D E S C R I P T I O N
Rare antique stoneware stein, advertising the MARTIN LANGE CAFE in New York City. Reads around top:
Compliments of Martin Lange, Cafe 1607 Avenue A, N.Y.
Not an expert on these, but I believe this is salt glazed stoneware with a cobalt blue glass. Impressed mark GERMANY on the bottom.
Did a little research, and this is what I think, if anyone else has more or better information, please let me know! Can't find any listing of this establishment, I think giving the address, that this was in the "GAS HOUSE DISTRICT", the old neighborhood that was razed in 1945 to make way for the Stuyvesant Town development. That would date it to the early part of the 1900s, and maybe earlier. Rare and beautiful! A great relic of old New York City!
