German Dirndl Ceramic Beer Stein, 0.55 L

A stein moulded in the shape of a dirndl bodice — laced front, gathered apron, the whole thing engraved and hand painted. The two faces carry different bodices, so it reads as a different piece depending which way you turn it on the shelf. It is a joke object and it knows it, but it is a properly made one: 0.55 litres, 6.3 inches tall, and heavy enough in the hand to drink from rather than just look at. 0.55 litre capacity, 6.3 inches tall Moulded and hand painted — engraved detail on the lacing and the apron pleats Two different bodices, one on each face Maker’s logo on the base Hand wash only MaterialsGlazed ceramic, hand painted over an engraved mould, off-white. The supplier specifies HAND WASH ONLY — the dishwasher would take the colour off a hand-painted piece. Use and careHand wash in warm water. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Made in China.
