Description

Ceramic beer stein glazed in muted cream, blue, brown and green colors. It depicts a man, dressed in lederhosen, playing the zither, while a woman looks on, leaning on his shoulder. There is a basket of laundry by her feet. Edelweiss adorns the base and panel by the handle. An inscription reads "Bier und frohes Lied / Macht nie Lebensmüd" (Beer and happy song never make life tiresome). It has an ornate pewter lid.
