18th Century Pewter Mounted Floral German Faience Tankard with Nativity Lid

Description: Beautiful 18th Century German faience pewter mounted tankard or stein featuring polychrome floral decoration with blue stripes with blue trees flanked on both sides of the handle, stein in unmarked. Tankard has attached pewter lid with a central Nativity scene (Mary & Joseph holding Jesus, with the three wise men in a stable with a star overhead) in high relief in the center of a 8 pointed star; the thumblift is drilled into the handle, underside of lid is illegibly signed. Base is also mounted with a ring of pewter. Measures 9 1/4" high to top of knob x 3 3/4" diameter at faience rim x 4 1/2" diameter at base. In good antique condition, there is chipping at the rim, hairline cracks and crazing, as well as glaze and paint loss. The pewter lid shows a separation in the rim as well as denting, though structurally still a sound piece, hard to tell if any repairs have been made. A fine addition to any home or collection!
