This was my first go at making a porcelain stein. I anticipated instability while drying but I obviously didnt compensate well enough, hence the name 'The Leaner'. Yes my brother did accept it and its flaws.
This was another project aimed at our heritage.
Germany was painted with the color of its flag.
The Ade emblem I designed was added with the edleweiss flower, the national flower of Germany.
The coat of arms for Grossbottwar, Wuttemburg, Germany was added as that was the town from which the family hails from!
Totally got to ask my brother about his first time over there, speaking no German, riding a bus with a note in his hands to no-mans-land hoping the locals were guiding him faithfully, and walking into a myseterious town to see the fountain in the town square and 'Ade' at the top.. he cried.
