Antique German Art Nouveau/Jugendstil Pewter Serving Beer Stein by L. Presented is a beautiful and very stylish beer stein designed in a very distinctive Jugendstil style - the German version of Art Nouveau. This style is very specific to Germany - it is characterized by simplistic and at the same time unusual linear forms. This style was extremely popular at the time.

It lasted only a decade or two, but changed the perception of design forever. The stein was designed and made by Ludwig Lichtinger pewter smith company in Munich. The stein is marked on the bottom with L. The stein is in excellent condition with no dings, damages or repairs. It would require some cleaning but I will leave it to the new owner - some people prefer the antique look and patina for the pewter objects, some like to polish them to get a near silver impression it was inteneded to give at the time of manufacturing. The stein is 11.5 tall to the top of the thumblift, 1L capacity. Get images that make Supersized seem small.
