Antique German Blown and Stone Cut Glass Beer Stein with Traveling Man Thumblift c. This beautiful and very elegant beer stein was made around 1880s – 1890s of blown glass with attached handle and glass inlaid pewter lid. It is made in a shape of a goblet with a short stem and wide foot and decorated with stone cut facets for great optical effect. The pewter lid is nice and ornate, with the glass inlay also stone-cut to create a diamond-like look. The thumblift is in a form of a travelling man with a backpack, a walking stick and a flask in his hand, very interesting and unusual. The stein is in excellent flawless condition. Please note – the glass beer steins are the ones that could be actually used for drinking – I wouldn’t recommend drinking from antique stoneware or pewter, but antique glass cleans perfectly. The stein is standing 9 tall to the top of the thumblift, 0.25L capacity. Get images that make Supersized seem small. Track Page Views With.
