Historical Beer Mug from Clay, 0.5 L with Wooden Lid
This beer mug with a holding capacity of 0.5 L was thrown on the potter’s wheel in the same way as it was done in former times. With the aid of archeological institutes, historic preservation agencies and museums, it was possible to reconstruct this ancient cup. It is made from ocher clay which was fired at 1200°C and is thus extremely sturdy.
For sanitary reasons, it was glazed over the edge. The bottle-green glaze was considered particularly stylish in the 16th century. The glaze is not only food safe but also free from lead compounds and toxic substitutes.
The mug is equipped with a wooden lid attached with a leather strip. The wood is untreated. Except for the lid, the mug is dishwasher safe.
Hand-made in Germany, guaranteed without industrial assistance, for this would be neither historical nor authentic!
Please note that the cup is not calibrated and thus exclusively intended for private use.
