Beautiful antique 1-liter German beer stein with ornate pewter lid and colorful raised relief detailing in brown, blue, and cream tones. The stein features a traditional German saying that reads: “Gott hat den Durst erschaffen, der Teufel den Kater und Lufen.” (Translation: God created thirst, the devil created the hangover and the headache.) The bottom is stamped with markings and a mold number, suggesting it’s an authentic early 1900s German stoneware stein, possibly from the Westerwald region. The pewter lid is finely detailed with engraved patterns and an ornate thumblift. Condition: Excellent antique condition overall with minimal wear consistent with age. No cracks or chips observed; lid functions well and closes securely.
