Beautiful Circa 1750s-1760s German Faience Stein from Erfurt NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Erfurt is an ancient town in central Germany, and Erfurt Cathedral once had a priest yet unknown to the wider world named Martin Luther. The stein is done predominantly in a lilac hue with many jewel tone details, a trademark of the vibrant glazed earthenware named faience. The tall stein has a pewter hinge and thumbpiece.
