Vintage Beer Stein from Dinkelsbühl, Germany

German beer steins, known as "Bierkrüge" or "Steinkrüge," have a rich history dating back to the 14th century. Initially made of stoneware, they evolved to include materials like porcelain, glass, and pewter. These steins were not only functional vessels for drinking beer but also became decorative items and souvenirs, often depicting historical scenes, coats of arms, or local landmarks.

This particular stein features a depiction of Dinkelsbühl, a well-preserved medieval town in Bavaria, Germany, often referred to as "die 1000 jährige Stadt" (the 1000-year-old city).

This vintage stein is from the early to mid 1900’s.
