Antique/Vintage German Stoneware

Vintage German Salt-Glazed Westerwald Pitcher and Matching Creamers Set

This three-piece set consists of a central serving pitcher flanked by two smaller jugs or creamers, all crafted in the traditional Westerwald style of German stoneware. The central vessel features a spherical body with a flared rim and a pouring spout, decorated with a high-relief central medallion. The medallion depicts a jovial figure holding a drinking vessel, surrounded by a cobalt blue background and the German text 'EURE VATER AUS STEIN,' which translates to 'Your fathers from stone.' The two smaller vessels feature banners reading 'WEINLAND BADEN' (Wine Country Baden), indicating a regional association with the Baden wine-growing area of Germany. Structurally, the items are made of salt-glazed ceramic with a characteristic greyish-beige body and deep cobalt blue accents. The relief work is sharp, featuring floral patterns and vine motifs that signify traditional craftsmanship. The condition appears fair to good; there is some visible surface dirt and potential light crazing consistent with age, though no major cracks or structural repairs are immediately apparent. These pieces likely date from the mid-20th century (c. 1950s-1970s) and represent typical souvenir or household pottery from the Rhineland-Palatinate region, known for high-quality salt-glaze techniques.
