0.5 L Art Nouveau stein. Signed B.C.S. on front relief. Most relief steins have rather dated motifs, but this one is timeless. 100 years from now, this stein will still conjure up the sentiments the artist intended-that my friends is real art. 8 1/2 inches tall to top of lid. Nice heavy pewter, hinge 5 ring open. Thumblift is a beer swilling zwerg sitting on a barrel; Hinge is tight; Bottom marked "Hanke, Germany". Mold number 1253. No cracks or chips, no hairlines. Some crazing in interior otherwise mint. Low reserve to protect my investment. I am not a dealer but a collector downsizing. Thanx for looking. Please see my other quality beer steins. Please allow 1 week shipping time after payment. Note: $2 packing fee for tape and bubble wrap.
