Two extremely handsome stein with hinged lids: An American made oak stein with quadruple plated pewter lid, base, handle and flowering vines that spiral around the stein's body.

It has two German mottoes on it: "Sprich was wahr ist Lieb was rur ist," and " Trink was klar ist, Ib was gar ist." They translate as "Speak what is true, and Drink what is clear, eat what is ready."
Size: The wooden stein is 11 inches tall and 5 1/4 inches across the base. The ceramic stein is 13 inches tall and 5 1/4 inches across the base.
