Product information " Apostle Stein, 1 Liter, hand-painted, extra heavy pewter lid"
Apostle stein, hand-painted, with a heavy ornamental pewter lid
The first relief steins with apostle motifs were produced around 1620 in a similar manner.
The motifs running around the jug depicts the individual holy apostles.
This handmade apostle stein was produced around 1970 in Höhr-Grenzhausen in the Westerwald Region by a family business "Girmscheid".
As such, this stein is also marked with "Handarbeit, Girmscheid" which translates to "Hand-Crafted, Girmscheid".
The sein was fired twice. While the over-all stein finish is a so-called rustic finish, the Apostles and several ornaments have been highlighted by hand-painting.
The lid as well as the thumb rest were also made on-site from pure pewter and cast onto the stein by hand.
