Description

Antique Mettlach Beaker
“
Flute Player
”
Mold #2327
Decoration # 1024
¼ Liter
I have collected beer steins and glasses for over 50 years. Now it is time to downsize a bit, so here is an antique Mettlach beaker (“Becher” in German) with a flute player wearing a feathered hat. He appears to be serenading a bird.
The German text is
“
Es lebe die Musik und Sangeskunst
”
which translates as
“
Long live music and art of song
”.
The beaker is
¼ liter
capacity,
5 inches
tall and
2¾ inches
wide at the rim.
Condition:
The beaker is in MINT condition. It has no flakes, flea bites, chips, hairlines, cracks, crazing or staining. The interior is a milky white.
Markings:
The beaker has standard Mettlach markings. The mold number (2327), quality control number (5) and year code (00 for 1900) are impressed in the bottom. The Mercury mark is stamped in green. The decoration number (1024) is not present.
