Product Details

Pewter Stein. Lid featuring stamped profile and engraved around "Oscar, IT, Sveriges, Och, Norgesm, Kondune." Bottom marked"Frasantesson, Stolkholm, HVIT Metall, Y6." As a result of the bubonic plaque and several invasions of flies throughout Europe, Germany established several laws in the early 16th century requiring all food and beverage containers be covered. By combining a lid, hinge, and thumb lift, these "German" containers could easily be opened and closed with one hand. Steins became very popular, and many different types of designs and decorations were artistically applied to them. Many stein-decorating styles and techniques were developed over the centuries, offering further diversity to this creative, historical, artistic, and ever-evolving gift item.
