Stoneware, hand-painted raised relief with gold leaf accents. The three raised panels on this stein have been meticulously sculpted and all depict castles commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The titles of all three are carefully incised into the stoneware body: Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, and Herrenchiemsee. The background of the stein is a deep midnight blue with white glistening snow highlights. An antiqued pewter lid completes the piece.
