beer steins

German drinking mugs

Beer steins are large drinking mugs, traditionally made of stoneware or ceramic, used for serving beer.

Originating in Germany, they typically feature a hinged lid—originally added during plague times to keep out flies—and an ornate handle.

Steins often display decorative scenes, coats of arms, or commemorative designs, making them popular collectibles.

The term stein comes from the German word for stone, referencing the material.
