“General ’Stonewall’ Jackson Enters Winchester, Virginia” on May 25, 1862, after stubborn resistance from the forces of Union General Nathaniel Banks. This painting depicts the first time Winchester had been liberated from a long and harsh period of Union control. The Confederates were welcomed as conquering heroes. The images are framed by a raised Victorian border.
The traditional military stein styling serves as the criterion for this stein. The South’s two most famous generals are showcased side by side on this stein by a pair of Mort Kunstler’s original paintings. The titles of the original paintings as well as a reproduction of Mort Kunstler’s signature are permanently fired near the base of the stein. A Lithophane (see-through) picture of General Jackson appears in the stein’s base and is revealed when one holds the stein to the light and looks through it. The heavy cast and antiqued ornamental pewter lid is decorated with embossed stars, cannon balls, swords, and ”US” and ”CS” symbols. A pewter artillery cannon figurine is mounted on the lid.
This is a limited edition of only 2,000 pieces. Each stein is registered and individually numbered.
