~ Stieglbräu ~
 
This is a very nice brewery stein for a classical brewery in Saltzburg, Austria founded in 1492 and named for a staircase in the local Palace. The decoration shows the staircases on the sides and brewers' vat and tools on the front of this Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein marked Merkelbach & Wick ca. early 1900's.
