Up for sale is a beautiful vintage German \"Bierseidel\" (lidded glass beer mug) manufactured by the renowned BMF (Bayerische Metallwarenfabrik) company. The underside of the pewter lid features the authentic stamped BMF triangular tower maker\'s mark along with the crisp \"Made in W.-Germany\" engraving, dating its production to the pre-reunification era.
This piece stands 5 inches tall and features BMF\'s classic mid-century clear bubble glass / hobnail body that beautifully catches the light.
The heavy, ornate pewter lid is fitted with an authentic commemorative triangular badge from a traditional 1980 IVV Wanderung (Volksmarch) event held in Untergrombach, Germany.
Additionally, the front of the glass prominently features its original, factory-applied decal showcasing the official Large Bavarian Coat of Arms (Bayern Crest), including the traditional blue-and-white diamonds and regional lions.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition! The glass is incredibly clean and completely free of chips, cracks, or flea bites. The pewter lid sits perfectly flush, and the hinge is strong, tight, and fully operational. The interior pewter surface remains bright and untarnished with sharp, highly legible manufacturer stampings. The Bavarian crest is fully intact with excellent color retention (please review all photos to assess cosmetic condition).
