You’re buying a vintage Weihenstephan German beer stein, dated 1983, produced by the Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery.
This is the 1-liter (Maß) version, confirmed by the official German capacity calibration mark on the side and verified by a water-fill test (~1 liter). The stein features a glazed ceramic body with traditional Bavarian artwork titled “Die Bozener Tracht,” depicting regional folk dress, and is topped with a pewter lid.
Details:
• Brewery: Weihenstephan (Bayerische Staatsbrauerei)
• Year: 1983 (Jahrgang)
• Capacity: 1 liter (Maß)
• Material: Glazed ceramic with pewter lid
• Origin: Germany
• Base: Unmarked (typical for Weihenstephan annual steins of this era)
The stein is in very good vintage condition, with cracks or repairs. Minor surface wear consistent with age and a light patina on the pewter lid. Interior is clean.
This is an authentic vintage brewery stein, not a modern reproduction. The 1-liter version is less common than the standard 0.5 L, making it more collectible for Weihenstephan enthusiasts.
Great for display, collection, or traditional use.
