🍻 "O'zapft is!" – Bring the spirit of the world's greatest beer festival to your home bar!
Up for sale is a charming, vintage German souvenir stein celebrating Oktoberfest in München (Munich). This piece features a fantastic "mixed-media" design: a sculpted, earthy-toned relief wrapped around the body, punctuated by a vibrant, colorized transfer-print medallion commemorating the festival.
🌭 The 360-Degree Artwork:
· The Oktoberfest Medallion (Photo 3): The front features a colorful, detailed scene of a traditional Oktoberfest horse-drawn beer wagon, loaded with barrels, passing in front of the iconic twin-spired Frauenkirche (Munich Cathedral). The scene is framed by a sculpted, golden-yellow wreath, with the text "Oktoberfest" and a banner reading "MÜNCHEN" with the city's coat of arms.· The Village Scene (Photo 1 & 4): The body of the stein wraps around with a sculpted, earthy-brown relief featuring a rustic Bavarian village or castle scene. The textured, hand-painted browns and earthy greens give it an authentic, old-world feel against a deep blue sky.· The Figure: A sculpted figure in traditional Bavarian attire (green tunic, red hat, yellow sash) can be seen on the side, celebrating the folk culture of the region.
🏅 The Hardware:
· The Lid: A heavy, domed pewter lid featuring deeply stamped, intricate Celtic-knot / geometric scrollwork. It finishes with a sharp, tiered finial.· The Thumb-Lift: An elegantly sweeping metal lever topped with a sculpted, open-work floral motif. The hinge is tight and operates smoothly.· The Handle: A thick, sculpted ceramic handle designed to look like gnarled tree bark, matching the rustic aesthetic of the body.
📏 Dimensions & Condition (Transparency Note):
· Height: Approx. 6.5 inches tall (to the top of the finial).· Width: Approx. 4.5 inches across the base.· Condition: Structurally sound vintage condition. The ceramic body is solid with no chips or major cracks. The sculpting and vibrant colors of the Oktoberfest medallion are crisp and unfaded.· Interior Note (Photo 7): The interior of the stein and the interior of the lid show natural glaze "crazing" (fine spiderweb cracking) and some light, age-appropriate tarnish on the metal. This is completely normal for a vintage piece of this age, does not affect structural integrity, and adds authentic character. The hinge is tight and functional.
