Father Jahn Character Stein

Schierholz & Sohn · 1900

This particular stein is known as a character stein, because its body, lid, handle, and mountings combine to form a figure, person, or object--in this case, the Turnvereine founder, Father Frederich Ludwig Jahn. The lid of the stein functions as a hat for Father Jahn, and the handle of the Stein seems to be part of Father Jahn's garment and hair piece.
