Appears to be ein echter deutscher bier stein -- with Waldhorn Restaurant and a SPATEN mark underneath plus the word Munich (in German -- Muenchen) but on the bottom is a mark 'M WARE" with the word China underneath it...yes, it's always a little strange to find the treasures of another country made in China. But it is a beauty, a souvenir from a restaurant guess where? The USA. So we have a fine looking Beer Stein--a lovely souvenir -- from a GERMAN Restaurant in North Carolina, USA albeit it Made in China.... a Worldly affair and souvenir --- wouldn't you say? A great beer mug and beautiful too! to add to your collection of special beer mugs. Prosit!
