Anti-Semitic pipe, hand-carved, made by Fr. Rosenstiel. Berlin, [c. 1880]. Carved Bakelite; carved wood; amber mouthpiece.
In the center of the pipe is an engraving of two Jews sitting on a bench. Behind the bench is a sign upon which is engraved: "Carlsbaden Idylle". Apparently, the scene is referring to the Jewish custom of visiting the Carlsbad baths (Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia).
4.5X12 cm. The pipe is in good condition. Placed in original case, silk-lined (minor damages).

Beer jug (0.5 liter) with anti-Semitic vignettes, designed by Johann Korzilius of Köln-Ehrenfeld. Germany, 1893.
Ceramic jug; ceramic and pewter cover. Stamped on bottom: "Musterschutz".
Four anti-Semitic vignettes are molded on the jug (with captions), in two transverse bands. The upper band has three vignettes: the first portrays a German farmer with three Jews sitting on his plow, titled: "This plow would not be so heavy if Aron, Jonas and Hirsch were not sitting on it." The second vignette portrays a laborer with the caption "We labor for such low wages, however Cohen reaps the profits." In the third vignette, two Jews appear picking the pocket of a third person, all under a tree. Between the two bands is a long sentence in German: "Written in the Talmud: 'Only Jews are human, the rest of the nations are compared to animals', and "Non-Jews' gold is free for us and it belongs to he who gets it first". On the bottom band is a rich and detailed scene describing the future expulsion of the Jews from Germany in 1910, accompanied by various anti-Semitic texts: "Great joy and happiness, Germany is free of Jews!", "To Palestine", etc. In the background is a house with the following inscription on its wall: "A German house! Jews may not enter." The jug cover is different from other covers documented in the books. Appearing on their covers are five portraits of prominent anti-Semitic figures from the second half of the 19th century. In the center of this cover is the German word "Heil" surrounded by five round medals. A different German anti-Semitic sentence appears inside each medal.
Height: 21 cm. Diameter : 11 cm.
