Appraisal Report
This stein features a figural lid in the shape of a face with a long nose (often referred to as a 'dwarf nose' or 'wizard nose' stein). They are typically German in origin and were made popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The blue and white decoration on the body is a common style. The value depends on condition, maker, and specific design. Without a clear view of the mark (if any) or further details of the maker and age, a precise value is difficult to determine. However, in good condition, these types of steins often sell in the range of $50 to $150.
