1980s Etched Crystal and Pewter Beer Stein – 1988 Commemorative

This handsome lidded beer stein combines the brilliance of cut crystal with the heritage of German pewter craftsmanship. Etched with a full-rigged sailing ship and fitted with a traditional hinged lid, it was presented to “Phil” on November 18, 1988 — a date now preserved in metal and glass. Beautifully balanced, it rings true when lifted, showing the weight and clarity of genuine lead crystal.
