This authentic vintage Thewalt beer stein was crafted in Western Germany and features richly detailed, hand‑painted high‑relief figures in traditional Bavarian dress framed by cobalt blue scrollwork on a softly glazed stoneware body. The hinged pewter lid retains its original thumb lift and exhibits a natural aged patina that underscores the stein’s history without compromising function.
The base is stamped “Original Thewalt” and “Western Germany”, confirming post‑war production. Additional mark “No. 187” appears under the handle. Inside, the stoneware shows light crazing consistent with vintage age; the exterior glaze remains vibrant and well‑preserved. There are no chips or cracks, and the relief work retains excellent depth.
This piece is an ideal display accent for a bar, study, or Bavarian‑themed collection and a wonderful example of mid‑century German stoneware craftsmanship.
