Marked "Made exclusively for Rothschild Bros., Ithaca, N.Y., U.S.A." on underside of base. A tall glazed stoneware beer stein created for graduates of Cornell University. The walls of the vessel are inscribed with a line of the sheet music for the Cornell student song as well as the lyrics, "We honor thee Cornell. / I am thinking tonight of my old college town / I am dreaming of days that are flown … / Of the joys and the strife / Of my old college life / Ah, those days were the best I have known." Below is a register featuring lovely scenes depicting the campus. The lid is inlaid with and overlapping "C" and "U" (for Cornell University) in red, the school color. A lovely pewter owl is perched upon the thumb press, meeting the pewter border for the lid. Size: 6.375" W x 10.75" H (16.2 cm x 27.3 cm)
The Mettlach factory is located on the Saar River in western Germany, close to borders with Luxembourg and France, and housed on the grounds of a former Benedictine Abbey that dates to the 10th century. Interestingly, Johann Franz Boch-Buschmann founded this factory on this site in 1809, and the Villeroy & Boch company resulted from a merger with Nicolas Villeroy in 1836.
