Classic German-style beer stein with deep cobalt-blue ground and elaborate raised cream decoration of scrolls, foliage, and lattice panels. One central cartouche is inscribed in German: “Den kühlen Trunk ich preiss” (loosely, “I praise the cool drink”). Decorative borders at rim and foot, along with a sculpted handle with foliate accents, complete the traditional look.
This is an unlidded stein in the style of mid–20th century Westerwald/Rhineland production, ideal for a traditional beer stein collection or as a decorative display piece in a bar or study.
