Product information "Hunter Stein, 1,5 Liters, made around 1970"
This beer stein is crafted from fine ceramic and was produced by the renowned Girmscheid company, based in Höhr-Grenzhausen, Germany. The marking "Made in Germany – Western" on the bottom suggests it was made around 1970.
The richly detailed relief design is a standout feature, with a brown patina that accentuates the depth of the relief. The front of the stein depicts a hunter in traditional Bavarian attire. He casually carries a rifle over his shoulder and holds a pipe in his right hand. To his left, there's a depiction of a chamois, and to his right, a majestic stag.
You find a text in Bavarian dialect beneath of these motifs:
„A Stutzerl auf’m Ruck‘n, A Gamsbart auf’m Hut
A Deandl im Herzen, das macht frischen Mut“
(A rifle on the back, a goat’s beard on the hat,
a girl in one’s heart, that gives fresh courage)
This hefty stein is topped with an impressive pewter lid that has developed a beautiful patina over time. It holds a generous 1 ½ liters and stands at an imposing height of approximately 34 cm (13.1/3 inches)
