Brewery stein


The Maß (pronounced Mass) is the Bavarian word describing the amount of beer in a regulation mug, in modern times exactly 1 litre (33.8 US fl oz). This example does not have a capacity mark, which could indicate that it was manufactured prior to 1887 (the year capacity marks were required by law).








The swirls indicate that the stein was made on a potter`s turn-table. The swirls are caused by a wire used to remove the stein from the potter`s turn table.

Regimental stein - Is it real or a reproduction


 Only reason I suggest it is a Regimental is due to the lithophane below.

A hand painted pressed glass stein


I really enjoy this stein. 
I believe it is old, due to the hand painted flowers and the date of the mark on the bottom of the stein.

Lithophane



This is one of my first lithophane steins.


I have tried to search for this tower, but to no avail.



All pewter stein


This is my first all pewter stein, I again know very little about this stein.

Munchen


I know little about this stein.


Passed on a Mettlach


When I knew even less about steins than I do know, I was in a store that had this lovely stein and a Mettlach stein. I chose this stein, I stand by my choice (Ok I would have bought both).

Freut Euch Des Lebens


The artist may be Franz Ringer.


"Freut euch des lebens" (Enjoy Life), is a waltz composed by Johann Strauss II and premiered in Vienna in 1870.


My First Stein


This was my first stein I am not sure who manufactured the stein nor the year.
I have searched for "ANNO 1725", but again found little.
