This commemorative stoneware stein dates from the nineteenth century and originates from the French factory of Sarreguemines. Fashioned from glazed ceramic, the vessel presents a two-tone brown and cream colour scheme with a shiny finish, structured with a cylindrical upper section and a bulbous lower body. The exterior carries raised relief-moulded ornamentation, including interlocking Cyrillic initials surmounted by an imperial crown, the date 1896, and a double-headed eagle positioned above a Cyrillic inscription encircling the base, all framed by beaded border mouldings. The item stands 20.5 cm high. Placed on a bookshelf in a gentleman's library or study, the container functions as a decorative display piece or collector's item. The smooth surface and high-gloss glaze catch ambient light, while the deep brown glaze contrasts against the cream ceramic ground. The relief details provide tactile depth around the circumference of the vessel, contributing to its historical presentation.

FAQs

To commemorate the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II in May 1896, several prominent European ceramic manufacturers, including Sarreguemines in France, were commissioned to produce decorative souvenirs featuring Imperial Russian insignia, Cyrillic lettering, and official monograms.

This type of vessel is crafted from glazed earthenware or majolica, utilizing press-moulded relief details. The decorative elements are highlighted with coloured lead glazes, creating a distinct two-tone contrast between the relief motifs and the body.

Authentic examples feature impressed factory marks on the underside, such as the Sarreguemines shield or name, alongside crisp relief moulding of the Romanov double-headed eagle, the Cyrillic NII monogram, and the specific date 1896.

Vessels of this nature are styled as historical accents within a bookshelf, placed on a sideboard alongside framed artwork, or grouped with vintage ceramics in a dedicated glass display cabinet.

Maintain glazed earthenware by dusting with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid immersing antique ceramics in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners, as moisture can enter fine glaze crazing and cause internal staining.
