Rare antique German beer stein — Die Lindenwirtin — from the Westerwald region in traditional salt glaze, 0.5L capacity with hinged pewter lid, mold number #550. Professionally packed for fragile shipment. Ships next business day. Full refund if damaged in transit.
Westerwald stoneware has been produced in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany since the 16th century, and it remains the definitive form of German utilitarian and decorative stoneware. The Die Lindenwirtin ("The Linden Inn Hostess") is a traditional German folk theme depicted in raised relief on Westerwald salt-glazed pieces. This 0.5L stein carries the #550 mold number, the traditional gray-blue salt glaze, and the original hinged pewter lid with thumb lift. The pewter lid seats properly and the hinge is functional. The stoneware body shows no chips or cracks. A genuine, well-preserved antique German stein for serious stein collectors or German stoneware enthusiasts.
Condition: Very Good. No chips or cracks to stoneware. Pewter lid present, hinge functional. Salt glaze intact.
