250th Anniversary Stein of the United States of America, multi-colored glaze "wash" decoration, figural Eagle Pewter Lid
250th Anniversary Stein of the United States of America Be it known that this commemorative stein has been faithfully handcrafted and issued in honor of the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America (1776 – 2026). Created by KING Werk, the renowned German manufacturer of fine stoneware since 1949, this vessel pays tribute to two and a half centuries of freedom, courage, and progress – virtues that shaped a nation and inspired the world. The Founding of a Nation (1776) At the heart of the stein stands the solemn moment of America’s birth — the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Beneath the proud gaze of a bald eagle, emblem of strength and liberty, the Founders commit their resolve to freedom. Golden stars and classical ornamentation frame the scene, symbolizing endurance, unity, and the everlasting spirit of democracy. Technological Progress and Exploration The left panel honors the pioneering achievements of American science and innovation. From the moon landing (1969) to the digital frontier, it also commemorates the United States’ vital role in the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The relief recalls President Ronald Reagan’s immortal call: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” — a defining echo of hope and liberty across the world. It symbolizes the pioneering spirit that drives the nation from the dawn of space exploration to the digital age. Pioneers and Industrial Growth The right panel portrays the spirit of invention and enterprise that built a nation. Here appear the Wright brothers, symbols of flight and daring; and the great inventors Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, whose genius illuminated the modern world and gave rise to the electric age. Another relief shows the first mass-produced Ford automobile, representing industrial progress and the democratization of prosperity — making once-luxurious goods affordable and accessible to the people. Through these scenes, the stein honors those whose ingenuity and perseverance forged the American century. Artistry and Craftsmanship Each stein is individually molded and hand-finished from high-quality stoneware clay in the workshops of KING Werk, Höhr-Grenzhausen. Every piece is serially numbered, ensuring its authenticity as part of a limited collector’s edition.
