Vintage W. Germany Beer Stein Kaiserslautern Relief Ceramic Pewter Lid 5.5"

German Made
Kaiserslautern City Scene
Vintage Mid-Century (1949-1990)

This is a classic example of a mid-20th century German souvenir stein, identified by the "W. Germany" mark used from 1949 until 1990. The stein features a highly detailed, hand-painted relief decoration depicting the city of Kaiserslautern, making it a popular collectible for tourists and military personnel from that era. The traditional craftsmanship is evident in the figural branch handle and the hinged pewter lid, characteristic of authentic German stoneware.

• Detailed, hand-painted relief scene with vibrant colors.
• Features a decorative hinged pewter lid and a branch-style handle.
• Marked "W Germany" on the base, confirming its post-war production origin.
• Interior displays fine crazing, a common characteristic of vintage ceramics.

Condition: Very good vintage condition, free of any visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The painted relief remains bright and largely intact. The pewter lid shows minor age-appropriate patina but functions correctly. The interior glaze exhibits a network of fine crazing, consistent with its age, but the stein remains solid and displays beautifully.
