Blown vintage glass tankard with beautiful painted Tole decor.
Vintage glass tankard with hand painted Tole decor and hand formed thick metal lid. Estimated circa: 1940 to 1960.
Tole painting originated from Dutch, German and Scandinavian regions. Tankards like this are a popular German form.
Blown glass with applied hand-pulled handle. The lid is made of metal, perhaps pewter, and shows signs of hand-tooling. The base is weighted with solid glass for stability. Made with thick, high clarity, quality glass.
It is in excellent condition. The expertly done Tole painting is bright and whole. No damage and no sign of use. Measures 6″ tall to tip of lid handle. The vessel is 4.5″ tall.
