46SH Stein

We bought this when we went to the Munich Oktoberfest in 1983.

We camped nearby. It was freezing, and we happened to be there when Australia won the Americas Cup. The Aussies were up all night celebrating. Little did we know that a few years later we would move out to Australia.

The word "stein" is of German origin. The etymology of the word is either from "Stein Krug" (meaning stone jug/mug) or from "Steingut" (meaning stone goods). Steins are mugs used for drinking beer. They can be made of earthenware, pewter, wood, ceramics, crystal, porcelain, creamware, silver, or glass. They have a handle and a hinged lid; are decorated and sometimes hand-painted.
