The stein is slightly more than one-sixth of a liter or 150 milliliters – the size we younger children used back in the 1940s when our immigrant parents allowed us to have beer on special occasions. Butzbach is a city in Hessen, a state in Germany. The front of the stein has a picture of the center of Butzbach. The bas relief on this stein is superb and the detail is fantastic. This is why I have added super-sized pictures so you can appreciate the detail on this stein.

Butzbach is considered a small town so I’m sure there weren’t many steins made like this.

The mark is that of an ORIGINAL King hand-painted stein and the DBGM in lid indicates it must be post-1949 Stein. I see no other flaws such as chips, cracks or crazing. In fact, I consider this stein to be in mint condition.
