A striking piece of German stoneware history, this 1980 Goebel Bavarian Forest Series Salt Glazed Stein is a numbered First Edition from a limited run of just 10,000. The hand-crafted relief depicts a family of owls perched on tree branches, topped with a solid pewter lid with acorn finial on the handle — richly detailed and unmistakably Goebel in character. Why Collectors Love It Salt glazing gives this stein its distinctive matte-to-sheen finish, while the owl motif lends it a timeless, woodland charm.
