One lid bears the period engraving “50 – Hans,” confirming authentic mid-century provenance. Clean, sharp, and investment-worthy examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese steins represent true Westerwald craftsmanship: thick salt-glazed stoneware, bold cobalt slip-trailed decoration, and solid pewter lids marked properly. Both pieces carry the correct LFZ \/ Handarbeit and “Made in Westerwald Germany” impressed marks, which collectors look for to confirm authenticity. The forms are clean and traditional, the handles solid, and the interiors free of damage or staining. This is not tourist ware — it’s factory-made, region-specific Westerwald pottery with proper marks, period pewter, and consistent glaze work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe engraved lid (“50 – Hans”) is a desirable trait among advanced collectors, indicating a commemorative gift, likely mid-20th century. Matching pairs in this condition remain harder to source, especially with clean glaze surfaces, intact pewter, and no structural issues. A strong set for display, bar collections, German pottery shelves, or breweriana showcases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecs:\u003cbr\u003e• Maker: LFZ \/ Westerwald Handarbeit\u003cbr\u003e• Origin: Westerwald, Germany\u003cbr\u003e• Capacity: 0.5 Liter each\u003cbr\u003e• Material: Salt-glazed stoneware with cobalt slip; pewter lids\u003cbr\u003e• Marks: LFZ Handarbeit seal; “Made in Westerwald Germany”; 0.5L capacity stamp\u003cbr\u003e• Condition: Collector grade — no cracks, no chips, clean pewter, excellent glaze\u003cbr\u003e• Height: approx. 6.25–6.5 in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecollector german stein, westerwald stein, LFZ handarbeit, cobalt stoneware stein, salt glaze stein, pewter lid stein, .5L german mug, german cobalt pottery, brewery collector, breweriana stein, authentic german stein, stoneware beer mug set","brand":"LintHead Restorations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51854762475810,"sku":null,"price":234.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/6920\/4514\/files\/63318826-35ac-4d0a-aae7-9223cb8e1314_e6dfff3c-1c4c-413f-88e2-67fef01ec12b.jpg?v=1782353595","url":"https:\/\/lintheadrestorations.com\/products\/vintage-westerwald-german-stein-pair-5l-salt-glazed-cobalt-stoneware-lfz-handarbeit-pewter-lids-engraved-hans-collector-grade-3","provider":"LintHead Restorations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
