Doccia steins – Porcelain steins made in Doccia, Italy by the Ginori family in the very early 1800’s. When they surface (not often) they are erroneously called “Capo-di-Monti” (see photos in “C” ) or “Capo-di-monti style” by the uneducated, or those who refuse to change, as they don’t even resemble them in decor or size or coloration. Shown: Doccia porcelain relief copy of the famous Dresden’s Green Vaults Ivory stein (hence its oval body shape.) [FWTD]  For more info on this stein, see: http://www.steveonsteins.com/silver

Dolphin (stylized) – A porpoise, with large head and eyes, massive back fin. Used on lots of “Near the shore” made type drinking vessels.

German beer stein  by Dorfner and Co.

Dorfner and Co. (“D&C”) – Above ▲is an beautiful beer stein created by Dorfner and Co. The company was established in 1829 in Hirschau, Bavaria and existed until 1890. It produced high quality beer steins that are actually quite scarce. 

Made in majolica technique – of earthenware with a heavy tin glaze. The glaze imitates multi-colored marble. These were  manufactured around 1860s – 1870s as indicated by the mark and also the hinge type, an interesting baroque-like scroll form.
Some very similar steins were produced at this exact period by other factories – Villeroy and Boch factory in Luxemburg and the Sarreguimines factory. The V&B stein were usually made of marble stoneware with two-tone pattern and Sarreguimines were usually brown glazed.
 Drfner’s  multi-colored marble glaze is very  unusual.
The stein carries the “D&C” mark of Dorfner and Co. The lid is pewter with porcelain inlay inscripted “J.Hirn”.  It is 6.5″ tall, 0.5L capacity.  [Info on this particular stein compliments of Serguei Artiouchkov  (eBay’s  Beer-Stein)

Info   ▼  ▼on Dorfner’s firm  is from Chris Wheeler’s  “Stein Marks”

http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/pages/pv.asp?p=stein1

Founded in April 1826 by the partnership of, Karl Martin Dorfner, Joseph Konstantin Dorfner, Heinrich Waffler (I) & Johann Dietrich Mayer. Within two years, they had a total of 45 employees, some of which were involved in kaolin mining and preparation, but included 26 potters and one or two decorators. By 1833 Heinrich Waffler had left and in 1849 Johann Mayer and his family emigrated to America. By 1870 the employee count had risen to 120. By 1883 and until 1890 the partnership was made up of Josef, Michael and Ernst Dorfner, with Josef as Managing Partner. However in 1890 the partnership fragmented, due to constant family disputes, although production continued. Some shares in the company were sold in 1894. Ernst Dorfner then started his own company, whilst the sons of Josef Dorfner, Hermann & Florian, founded the 
Gebrüder Dorfneron the 16th January 1895.

Double “C”  [or] Double-scroll handle — A sinuous line of S-shape, or composed of reverse curves, used frequently in the design of handles, mostly English pewter and sometimes silver. Shown above ▲: A British pewter mug / cann named to the 62ND Regiment (Inf.) Unknown exact age, Circa 1870 I believe. It has 3 dice in the bottom between two glass bottoms. [FWTD] .

Double cup or beaker:  Two identical beakers, one of which has a rim that fits inside the other. Usually made in metal and popular from the 1600’s  throughout Europe.

One beaker is slightly larger because of the added rim. Lots of the antique examples are now missing one of the cups – such as I assume the one shown just below ▼ had happen.

 

Hanau copy of Renaissance silver double cup = one half of one. Ca. 1880. Double firing the process of firing biscuit (unglazed) pottery, then glazing, decorating and re-firing.

Doves kissing Shown ▲: 5L, blue milk glass, enameled, “Zum Andenken,” (In Memory), Ca. 1840, with the thumblift of the two “doves kissing” which always indicated love / great admiration. Doves are seen on these thumblifts and on early enameled clear glass steins usually over a painted heart and infrequently on engraved clear glass stein from the  early 1800’s, as shown below ▼. .

Not a good photo ▲, but this  1600’s roerken’s pewter lid has a brass insert with the German “LOVE” symbol / icon of  the two doves over a heart engraved on it. [FWTD] Doves and Heart. –  See: “Hearts and Doves,” in this site’s Compendium.

Drinking bowl – Not  handled  or un-handled (which could imply the handles were broken off, which these weren’t. )  (Also called “beer bowls.” )  Along with those above  were also favored  vessels in Scandinavia and the Baltic States.

SOS - DRINKING BOWL I LIKE Art Nouveau bronze nude drinking from a bowl by V. Seifert, Germany 1900.

W.M.F. Glass drinking horn stein – Circa 1885.
Drinking horn steins – Self explanatory.  I think WMF ▲  was the first large firm to really make these a popular sales item, as they could make both the engraved glass and the metal mounts and lid. . They still are today,  as seen by the King Werk examples in blue glass below

Concordia Corps Coburg Studentenkrug .

Dueling Sicieties  / Student Societies) steins –  There is no sense in me writing all about this subject when there is such a good introductory article on them already: See article:German Student Societies, History and Traditions, A Bibliography by Walter B. Vogdes  @ the “Reading Room,”  http://www.steincollectors.org/ From Vogdes article referenced above.: The origins of the German student societies stretch back to the 12th century, when the first European universities were formed in Bologna and Paris. Young men who spoke the same language and perhaps shared some family ties found protection by banding together. The first “German” university was founded in Prague in 1348, and it included four student organizations, at that time called Nationes. Still reflecting ties to a shared homeland, these groups were named for Bohemia, Bavaria, Saxony and Poland. Since those early days the societies have diversified quite a bit, but they still cling to centuries of tradition and ritual.

Shown above: 25L, mold blown, hobnail pattern, porcelain inlaid lid. “Rauracia sei’s Panier!”  1893 – 1894.

A couple Examples are below. There were other societies that had their arms on steins , notably Singing and Musical groups.  95% of All Student dueling Sovietizes will have arms where  [1] one quarter will show crossed swords on it . [2] a Zirkel is displayed as on the glass stein  just above.

Durerturm –  The tower on the Old City wall of  Nuremberg that is closest to Durer’s home.

.  

 

Durerturm is what this tower character stein  is sometimes called, but I believe the stein is really modeled after another of the “old city’s” towers; the Sinwellturm (Sinwell Tower) at the Kaiserburg (Emperor’s castle.) Stein is marked “TW.”
