Pair of Antique German Beer Steins with Pewter Lids, Relief & Gilt Thaler Coin Krüge

Two rare old collector's steins that have clearly spent more of their lives being admired than emptied. The taller of the pair is a moulded relief Krug in soft ivory and olive tones, its body wrapped in classical figures gathering grapes and corn through the seasons. Its companion is a crisp white stein scattered with gilded Thaler coin medallions, each a tiny portrait, eagle or crest picked out in black and gold, the famous V Thaler 1806 among them. Both wear proper hinged pewter lids with ball thumb-lifts, the sort that close with a satisfying little clink. A handsome German duo, ready to hold court on a shelf or pour something celebratory.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

These two were born to keep company with other German stoneware, so let them lead a little Krug parade across a dresser or open shelf. Stand them beside the Early 1900s Reinhold Merkelbach Salt-Glazed Beer Stein Set and the Pair of Antique Westerwald Stoneware Jugs with Pewter Lids for a proper pewter-topped chorus line. For collectors who like a splash of colour nearby, the 1960s West German Fat Lava Ceramic Vases or the Charming Set of 7 Old Handcrafted Ceramics make a warm, gathered-over-time grouping. Interior designers, think Bavarian tavern energy refined for a modern study.
