Condition
Overall very good condition. The silver surfaces with very light surface scratches, light tarnishing and rubbing scattered throughout, consistent with age and gentle handling. The recessed contours of the design with very light polish residue. The interior of the stein with some minute discolorations and light surface scratches consistent with age. The piece presents with nuanced enamel work in jewel-tone blues, greens, and purples, which complement the organic contours of the stein's form.
