Large German Beer Stein

Strikingly large German beer stein. Collectible steins for decorative barware and unique gifts for that beer lover gift. Made in Germany from around the early 1900s to mid century. This antique beer stein is full of pottery relief of renaissance portraits and interesting designs. The details and workmanship are amazing and with it being so large it’s a real centerpiece.

It is a ceramic beer stein that fits 4 liters or approximately 1 gallon. A quality stein that is well made and heavy. Steins like this are known to have a pewter lid, this one does not have a lid. It does have a hole on the top of the handle where a lid can be attached. The bottom is stamped made in Germany and marked 1310. The stein was made by the manufacturer Merkelback & Wich founded in 1872.

The condition of this German beer stein is good with no major damage or repairs. It does have some crazing on the inside and out. It may have natural wear like scratches and discoloration that you would expect in vintage and antique pieces. See detailed pictures
