A charming German porcelain beer stein featuring a classic baluster form with handle and fitted lid. The white glazed body is decorated with raised gold polka dots, gilt banding, and a hand-lettered German inscription reading “Hopfen & Malz, Gott erhalts!” (“Hops and malt—may God preserve them!”), a traditional toast associated with brewing and beer culture.

The stein is finished with rich gold accents throughout, including the lid and rim, giving it a festive yet timeless appearance. Both decorative and collectible, it displays beautifully on a shelf, bar, or in a curated vignette, and can also be used as intended.

Light wear to the gilt consistent with age and use. No cracks or repairs noted. See less
