This ceramic stein is one of the three I found that seemed to be perfectly shaped to be decorated. As such, I chose a design I thought would best accent the stein. Carved into the leather adorning this stein is a skull and bones, and a whimsical message meant for the pirate in you has been stanped on. All the carving dying, sealing and stitching has been done by hand. This is a wonderful peice deserving of a wonderful home.
