King Werke is a major manufacturer that has been producing authentic steins since 1949.
There is a “mold number" on the base (e.g., #702), which indicates the shape was used for various city scenes.
King Werke manufactures authentic German beer steins, which are primarily handcrafted from high-quality stoneware (ceramic) and typically adorned with genuine pewter lids. These steins are produced in the Westerwald region of Germany using traditional methods, often featuring detailed relief decorations and cobalt blue glazes.
The main body is created from local German clay, which is fired to create a dense, durable ceramic body.
Most steins are topped with high-quality, durable pewter lids, often decorated in relief.
Many designs use traditional salt glazes or cobalt blue under-glazes, known for their vibrant color.
Each piece is handmade in Germany, frequently utilizing historic molds from the 18th and 19th centuries.
