BOTTOMS UP! STEIN MARKINGS AND HISTORY

Modestly subtitled as an introduction to the hobby of stein collecting, this site has enough information to fascinate even the seasoned collector. You'll find individual information categories for different styles of these spirited items, including mettlach, early stoneware, glass, contemporary, character and others. Learn what contributes to the scarcity of occupational steins, what a "touchmark" is on a pewter stein, and what the lid of a stein can reveal about its origins. What's the best part? Filling them up and trying them out, of course!
