COLLECTION OF FIVE GERMAN GLASS BEER STEINS AND MUGS - MID-20TH CENTURY

A CHARMING ASSEMBLAGE OF FIVE TRADITIONAL GERMAN GLASS BEER STEINS AND MUGS, EACH BEARING THE DISTINCTIVE MARKS OF ESTABLISHED GERMAN BREWERIES. THIS COLLECTION REPRESENTS THE GOLDEN ERA OF GERMAN BREWERY GLASSWARE, WHEN REGIONAL BREWERIES COMMISSIONED CUSTOM-PRINTED VESSELS AS BOTH FUNCTIONAL DRINKWARE AND PROMOTIONAL ITEMS.

OVERVIEW:
THE COLLECTION COMPRISES FIVE INDIVIDUAL PIECES, EACH APPROXIMATELY 16 CM IN HEIGHT, FEATURING STURDY GLASS CONSTRUCTION WITH APPLIED HANDLES AND PRINTED BREWERY IDENTIFICATION. THE STEINS REPRESENT THREE DISTINCT GERMAN BREWERIES: STIEFEL, DAB (DORTMUNDER ACTIEN-BRAUEREI), AND HB (HOFBRÄUHAUS). EACH PIECE DISPLAYS THE CHARACTERISTIC THICK-WALLED GLASS CONSTRUCTION TYPICAL OF GERMAN BEER STEINS, DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND REGULAR USE IN BEER HALLS AND DOMESTIC SETTINGS.

IDENTIFICATION:
THE COLLECTION INCLUDES EXAMPLES FROM THREE MAJOR GERMAN BREWERIES. THE STIEFEL BREWERY MARK APPEARS ON THE CENTRE MUG WITH ITS CHARACTERISTIC RED AND GOLD PRINTED DESIGN. TWO MUGS BEAR THE DAB BREWERY MARK, IDENTIFIABLE BY THE DISTINCTIVE CIRCULAR LOGO. ONE MUG DISPLAYS THE HB MARK ASSOCIATED WITH THE MUNICH HOFBRÄUHAUS. ALL MARKS ARE PRINTED DIRECTLY TO THE GLASS BODY IN THE TRADITIONAL MANNER.

CONDITION: THE COLLECTION IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION CONSISTENT WITH MID-20TH CENTURY DOMESTIC USE. THE PRINTED BREWERY LOGOS SHOW EXPECTED MINOR FADING FROM REPEATED WASHING AND HANDLING. NO CHIPS TO THE RIMS ARE PRESENT. THE GLASS REMAINS CLEAR AND FREE FROM CRACKS. ALL HANDLES ARE INTACT AND SECURELY ATTACHED. SURFACE SCRATCHES ARE MINIMAL AND CONSISTENT WITH AGE. THE STEINS RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL PRINTED DECORATION WITHOUT RESTORATION OR REPAINTING.

THIS COLLECTION OFFERS AN AUTHENTIC GLIMPSE INTO GERMAN BREWING CULTURE AND THE TRADITION OF BREWERY-SPECIFIC GLASSWARE THAT REMAINS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE TODAY. GERMAN BEER STEINS OF THIS QUALITY AND PROVENANCE APPEAL TO BOTH COLLECTORS OF BREWERY MEMORABILIA AND THOSE SEEKING AUTHENTIC PERIOD GLASSWARE FOR DISPLAY OR USE.
