Cinderella Castle Stein Appraisal

Vintage Walt Disney World Cinderella Castle Ceramic Stein

This is a vintage ceramic beer stein or mug featuring a wrap-around high-relief design of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. The piece is crafted from heavy ceramic with a white glazed base. The central focus is a detailed, multi-colored architectural depiction of Cinderella\'s Castle, featuring iconic blue spires and gray stone walls. In the foreground, characters Cinderella and Prince Charming are depicted standing before a fountain. The lower base contains decorative red lettering reading \"Walt Disney World.\" The handle is ergonomically shaped with a scrolling flourish along the spine, accented with bright red paint that matches the pinstripe around the top rim. The wrap-around scenery includes lush green trees, a vintage red motorcar, and blue water elements. Based on the style of the mold and the character designs, this piece likely dates to the late 1970s or early 1980s. The condition appears excellent with minimal signs of crazing or paint loss. The glaze remains shiny and bright, and there are no visible chips or cracks on the exterior surface or handle, indicating it was likely used primarily for display.
