German Traditional Beer Stein Collection
Available in this lot we have a collection of eight assorted traditional German beer steins. The collection displays wonderfully painted relief scenes depicting German townsfolk or nature scenes. The majority of the steins show pewter lids with two showing pottery figures and one showing pottery fish heads. The collection consists of three Thewalt steins, one Hanbar Beit, two West Germany steins, and two Gertz. Thewalt was the oldest beer stein factory in Hohr-Grenzhousen, a town in the Rhineland known for its ceramic industry. Thewalt was founded in 1893; it was run by the Thewalt family until it closed in late 2009. The collection shows good condition overall with little to no wear. The largest of the steins measures 12" tall with a base diameter 4 1/2".
