This ceramic beer mug, made in Japan in the 1960s, embosses a blonde lady in a pink gown playing guitar for a heavily mustached listener, with log cabins and a mountain castle on the reverse. Hand-painted in the same warm, muted Bavarian palette as its companion piece.
Condition: Vintage — used, excellent condition. No chips, cracks, or stains. Please review all photos; all sales final.
It's a natural companion to our Bearded Men mug, and both display beautifully together as a matched grouping for the German beer culture collector.
Every element here is embossed first, then hand-painted and glazed — the lady's pink gown, the gentleman's dramatic mustache, the pine forest and distant castle — all rendered in the same warm, muted palette found across this style of mid-century German-inspired stein. Pieces like this were made in Japan for the American gift market, letting collectors bring a bit of Bavarian tavern charm home without ever leaving the country.
Pair it with our Bearded Men mug for a complete set, or browse our shop for more German-style barware.
