Beer
steins come in a variety of styles, and shapes and are made out of
stoneware, pewter, porcelain, glass, and ceramic. Some have hinged
tops with a thumb lever that is used to open the lid so that you can
drink from the stein. and others have open tops. Steins are used
for drinking beer however at my house we use them as a display on our
mantle and in a glass case. Rarely do we drink beer from them but
that is not to say that we have not enjoyed them over the years
during the holidays and at an Oktoberfest dinner.
The
classic beer stein that you would find in Germany or Bavaria is made
out of stoneware and the designs are quite unique. The steins are
usually sold for special occasions like a housewarming party, a
holiday, or for a special event. Many people collect the steins
because of their style and ornamental designs.
Since
my husband is a collector I make a point to buy him a stein every
Christmas. He has a few pewter steins with hinged tops that are from
the early 1900s and are handmade German steins. These antiques
never come out of the glass cabinet. They are truly prized for their
craftsmanship. He also collects the Budweiser Clydesdale steins, the
holiday series that began in 1980. Like any collector, my husband
will buy steins that are part of a series, antique steins, and steins for
everyday usage.
The
beer steins at Zazzle are perfect for everyday use or for giving at a
housewarming. birthday, Christmas, or another occasion gift. The
stein features a traditional
German design
that has
ornate borders at the rim and base and a detailed handle. The
beer stein is available in 2 colors;
white with metallic gold and gray with blue color. Another
feature is that you can buy them as shown or you can upload your own
photograph or logo and make your own.
What
I liked about Zazzle’s beer steins is they have good look at them
and we can use them daily if we want and do not have to worry if they
are broken. They would also be thoughtful
Christmas gifts or housewarming gifts for anyone who likes to drink
beer.
Here
are a few of my favorite stein designs.
All were created by the independent designers at Zazzle.
