This handcrafted, solid pewter stein honors the great German Romanticist, self-taught painter Carl Spitzweg. His artwork is beautifully detailed on the main body and the lid including:
- “Der Briefbote” (The Postman)
- “Der Jugendfreund” (The Childhood Friend)
- “Der ewige Hochzeiter” (The Eternal Bridegroom)
- “Der arme Poet” (The Poor Poet).
- Two portraits of Carl Spitzweg in youth (1837) and as an older man (1880) are also featured on the lid.
The main panel reads:
“Carl Spitzweg 1808-1885. Maler und Zeichner besinnlicher Motive aus der guten alten Zeit”
which translates as:
"Painter and illustrator contemplative motifs from the good old days".
The back panel reads:
"Carl Spitzweg 1808-1885. Skurrile Figuren aus der liebenswerten Welt des Biedermeier."
which translates as:
"Whimsical figures from the lovely world of the Biedermeier" (an era of cultural growth in Europe)

Spitzweg Stein
It has been SO difficult to find high end pewter since covid. Most places I called or ordered from took my money but then didn't have the product. Why would they advertise it and not have it? I got all of it back but that a bad way to run a business. This is why when I came across Lindenhaus Imports, I called them first and verified they ACTUALLY have it. They were kind and said they'd call me back and even text me a picture of it. Lo and behold-they DID!!! THIS is how you run a business! What great service! They said they too have had a difficult time getting pewter but were fortunate to have everything they show online and some pieces that are only in their physical location. Now to the stein: It's very statuesque. The massive lid on top makes it much taller than a normal 1/2+ Liter Stein. Very ornate and heavy which is why I collect these amazing pewter pieces. It came in a nice box, then very well packed outer box with clean peanuts, and a hand written CARD! Again this is how you do it! These people actually care and they have great stuff! I will now try here first for my future pewter and stoneware steins. Thank you Lindenhaus Imports!!!
