Frankfurt Beer Gardens Stein

The German Biergarten (beer garden) is the main theme of this German made stein; where Gemutlichkeit abounds in the shade of the linden trees with good company and good drink.  Features a unique grotto or cave that is molded into the body, in which, appears a high relief view of a biermaiden serving drinks to the patrons.  The sides show famous sights and cities in Germany, where undoubtedly a beer garden can be found, including Frankfurt, (the) Rhein, München, Rothenburg, Neuschwanstein, Nürnberg, Berlin & Köln.

Like many German "cliches", the beer garden was invented in the southern state of Bavaria.  Back in the early 19th century, bottom-fermented beer was sensitive to the head and needed to be stored in a cellar.  In the warmer summer months, brewers simply put

their benches and tables out on the grass near their cellar - and the beer garden was born.

Top rim shows traditional symbols of Germany: an edelweiss, Tirolean hat, pretzel and Kannenbäcker mug.

Vibrant hand painted details, cobalt blue glaze background and facon pewter lid.
