Vintage German beer stein with pewter lid and Frankfurt am Main crest, ceramic, marked Germany. This is a decorative lidded stein in the traditional German style, with raised relief ornament and a city crest front and center. The form and decoration suggest a vintage souvenir or collector piece, approximately 7 inches tall.
- Material is ceramic with a pewter lid; the lid has an ornate thumb lift and domed finial.
- The front panel shows the Frankfurt am Main coat of arms with the wording “Frankfurt a. Main.”
- Relief decoration includes a castle scene, grapevines, leaves, and scrolling borders around the body.
- A maker’s mark is not clearly visible in the photos, but the piece is marked GERMANY and the pattern/model appears partial as 30 or 301.
- Approximate height is about 7 inches, based on the specialist identification provided.
- Condition shows clear signs of age and use, including light scuffs, tarnish/patina to the pewter lid, and minor glaze wear.
This type of stein was made for beer service and display, and today it works well as a shelf piece, bar display, or part of a German stein collection.
