Rodenstein Mettlach Beer Stein

This Mettlach beer stein by Villeroy & Boch of Germany combines everyday practicality with exceptional artistry. The mug is adorned with a charming landscape of the village of Pfaffen-Beerfurth in Odenwald, Germany, while the lid is topped by a figural finial of Rodenstein Castle, a historic castle in the Odenwald Mountains that was abandoned by its owners during the Black Plague in 1640. Beautifully reimagined here, it is a stunning ode to the history of this legendary region. A celebration of the rich German beer culture, the robust 3.8-liter stein retains its original pewter thumb hinge and is in exceptional condition.
