RARE!! GERMAN PRESENTATION PIECEThis is a nice old salt glaze stoneware jardiniere with pedestal from germany.
It is a very large unusual piece.
We were told it was a presentation piece from either a winery or brewery.
It was perhaps for a prominent family or owner or for display at the property.
The jardiniere has a man's face on one side and a woman's face on the reverse side.
There are gargoyle type faces as handles with a space where a ring probably hung from it's mouth on each side.
The pedestal is like a plant stand.
It has a crest on the front and is decorated with hops and grape leaves.
The pedestal is made in two pieces and cemented with concrete at the base of the column.
There is a crack in the base, but it is very solid.
You can see the crack in the photos.
There are also several chips off the 3-dimensional leaves as you can see from the photos.
This is a very rare piece.
It is stoneware with cobalt decoration and is made like the beer steins with the same look.
Definitely a one of a kind piece.
We listed this as local pickup, but we might be able to facilitate getting it to a packager like UPS.
