12 Litre Collectors Edition German Beer Stein By KING (small crack)

A One Of A Kind Stein

This authentic 12 litre German beer stein was crafted by King-Werks, and was inspired by paintings of the famous Alpine Painter Franz von Defregger, an 18th century Austrian artist known for producing genre art and history paintings set in his native county of Tyrol. The German text on the stein reads: 'Wer diesen Humpen leeren kann, der ist fürwahr ein braver Mann', which translates to 'The man who can empty this stein is for sure a strong man!'. Smaller German text on the stein reads ‘Hopfen und Malz – Gott erhalt‘s’, which translates to 'Hops and Malt – May God protect'!

Please note, this item has a minor crack in the base.

What Makes a Beer Stein Authentic?

The clay to produce an authentic beer stein comes only from the Westerwald region in Germany, an area renowned for its high quality clay. Clock Shop stocks authentic beer steins manufactured by King Works (King Werks - Wuerfel & Mueller GmbH and Co. KG), one of the only remaining manufacturers in this region. 

It is important to note that many online retailers sell "German Beer Steins'' however many of these steins are similar to our souvenir stein range and are copies of authentic German steins that are not necessarily manufactured in Germany. They typically look very similar in design, however the clay used to make them is inferior to that which comes from the Westerwald region. King Werks beer steins are often based on antique designs, created by highly skilled potters that have been practicing the centuries old craft of stein making for years.
