Description: This absolutely fantastic beer stein was made by Villeroy and Boch in Mettlach in the year of 1902. It is made in etched technique, creating a wonderful effect - the most famous Mettlach etched technique was never matched by any other manufacturer.
The stein is dedicated to music - it shows a group of musicians in Renaissance clothes playing various musical instruments and people dancing, drinking and flirting.
The lid also shows a musical theme - the inlay is decorated with musical symbols - clefs - two treble clefs and a bass clef.
