This is a German beer stein, a traditional beer mug that originated in Germany.

It is typically made from materials like ceramic or stoneware and features a decorative hinged lid, often made of pewter.

The markings on the bottom indicate that it was made in West Germany, which refers to the period between the end of WW II and the reunification of Germany.

The term "stein" comes from the German word for "stone" and these mugs are also known as a "Bierkrug" (beer jug).

The text on the stein, "rasten, wo es uns gefällt," translates to "rest where it pleases us."

This collectible piece is perfect for beer enthusiasts and collectors alike. Cheers to celebrating German beer culture with this original and authentic piece.
