A very well-preserved patriotic beer stein from the Third Reich period, constructed of glazed earthenware. It features a curved protruding handle fitted with a fully functional swivel hinge, connecting to a flat pewter lid with a raised clamshell thumb lift. Both the handle and the upper rim of the stein are finished in dark navy blue.
The exterior is decorated with raised white relief designs. At the center is a wreath enclosing a mobile swastika, flanked on the left by the Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Monument to the Battle of the Nations) in Leipzig and on the right by the Potsdam Garrison Church. These motifs are connected by oak branches adorned with acorns.
Beneath them is a decorative banner bearing the inscription:
"NIMMER WIRD DAS REICH ZERSTÖRET, WENN IHR EINIG SEIDE UND TREU!"
("Never will the Reich be destroyed if you are united and loyal!")
Near the top of the handle is the capacity mark "0.5L". The base is marked with the numbers "15" and "5448".
Dimensions: 155 mm wide (including the handle) × 150 mm high (including the thumb lift).
The stein is in excellent collectible condition, free of chips, cracks, or other damage. A beautiful and highly desirable example that would make an outstanding addition to any Third Reich militaria or historical beer stein collection.
