Character stein of Father Jahn

Character stein of Father Jahn

This stein depicts Frederich Ludwig Jahn (also known as Father Jahn), the founder of the Turnvereine movement in early nineteenth-century Germany. This particular stein is known as a character stein, because its body, lid, handle, and mountings combine to form a figure, person, or object--in this case, Father Jahn.
