According to info at Amazon.com;

This beautiful beer stein was handcrafted in Germany by Zoeller & Born. It has a pewter lid and the decal on the front of the stein features the famous Octoberfest in Munich, Germany.

The handpainted stoneware relief shows numerous edelweiss and enzian flowers. A mountain village scene is on the back of the stein. This .5 liter stein is about 12.5" tall and includes a wind up music box that plays "Edelweiss".

Zoeller and Born is a family owned operation that has been producing high quality beer steins since 1956. They specialize in steins with stunning handpainted relief. Zoeller and Born is one of only a few remaining German stein companies that still produce their steins in Germany with 100% German materials and German labor.
