1998 Oktoberfest Munich Stein

This item is an Oktoberfest Stein produced for the Munich, Germany Oktoberfest in 1998.   The first Oktoberfest was held in Munich in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen.  It is a much anticipated event with several million people attending over two weeks each year. 

A colorful stein is produced each year by Rastal.  Most of the steins are produced without lids but a small percentage are produced with a pewter lid.  The one being sold here is the one without a lid.  The 1998 design is a beautiful one with a red background, and a woman crowned with a beer.  This stein comes with a document printed in German that speaks to the Oktoberfest event.

The 1 liter stein is approximately 7 1/4 inches tall, and is in excellent new and unused condition.  It weighs 2 pounds and 9 ounces, and is signed by the artist on the bottom.

Shipping in the US will be by USPS Parcel Select or UPS.

I have a complete set of all Munich Oktoberfest steins issued from the first year of steins in 1978 to the most recent year of 2022.  I was unable to sell the collection as a set so I am now selling each stein separately.  Contact me if you are looking for a specific stein from the series.
