Beer Steins Have Become Popular Collectibles & Gifts

Antique stein collecting has been a major force shaping stein manufacturing in the modern period. First in about 1900, then again in the 1920s, good quality reproductions of antique steins were made, particularly in faience and pewter. Many of these early reproductions are clearly marked and are obviously not intended to fool antique stein collectors.

While traditionally and historically, Germany has been the main producer of beer steins, in the early 1970s, a company in Brazil has become the major producer of beer steins in the world.

Most Steins are made from pewter, glass or stoneware, and there are a wide variety of themes.  You can choose from Commemerative, German Towns and Cities, Countries, Historical Events, Wildlife, Professions, Military, Wedding, Sports, Hobbies, Dogs, and more, so you will not run out of gift ideas.  You can find a great selection at Haversons.com Beer Steins collection
