Vintage German Beer Stein with Pewter Lid | Tall Hand-Painted Relief Tavern Scene Mug

Description

Vintage German lidded beer stein with a colourful hand-painted tavern scene in raised relief. The moulded stoneware body shows villagers in traditional dress, framed by rope-twist borders and bands of cream and warm orange. It has a pewter hinged lid with thumb lift and a sturdy handle – a classic German souvenir stein, lovely for display or occasional use. • Origin: Germany (unmarked, typical West German souvenir ware) • Date: mid–late 20th century • Material: moulded stoneware with hand-painted glazes, pewter lid • Design: raised tavern / dancing couple scene, rope-twist borders, cream and orange bands Great on a bar cart, man cave shelf or rustic kitchen, and a nice gift for a beer lover or Oktoberfest fan. In good vintage condition. Bright colours and crisp relief. Light age-related wear: small surface marks, minor glaze imperfections and rubbing to the base and pewter lid, but no cracks or major damage. Hinge and lid work well. Please look carefully at all the photos as they are a part of the description. Approximate Dimensions: • Height with lid: ~13cm / hight without lid: ~ 10cm • Diameter base: ~6.7cm / diameter opening: ~ 5cm All of my vintage and antique pieces show signs of age and previous use, which add to their charm and authenticity. Please expect natural patina, light surface scuff and scratch marks throughout consistent with age. I always do my best to highlight any notable details in the photos, so please check them carefully as they form part of the description. *The items may be packaged with repurposed materials.
