Set of 4 Vintage Federal Milk Glass Tavern Steins

Set of 4 Vintage Milk Glass Stein with Relief Tavern Scene. They measure 6" in height by 3.5" wide. Excellent condition.

This exceptional set of four milk glass steins is a quintessential example of mid-century American barware. Produced by the Federal Glass Company during the 1960s, these tankards feature a highly detailed, wrap-around relief depicting a classic Bavarian tavern scene. The embossed artwork showcases traditional figures in a celebratory pub setting, a design that was immensely popular in post-war home bars for its nod to Old World European charm. Each mug stands six inches tall and is crafted from heavy, opaque milk glass with the characteristic "Federal" glossy finish that feels substantial in the hand.

Finding a complete set of four in excellent condition is a treat for any collector of vintage glassware. These steins were designed to be "heat-proof," making them as functional for hot mulled cider or cocoa as they are for a cold brew. Their bright white, opaque surface provides a clean, minimalist backdrop that allows the intricate texture of the tavern scene to stand out. Whether you are outfitting a Mid-Century modern bar cart or looking for a touch of Country and Farmhouse warmth for your kitchen cabinetry, these steins offer a rugged yet refined aesthetic. They represent a peak era of Federal Glass production before the company closed its doors in 1979, making them a true archival piece of American manufacturing history.

This set is vintage, over 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
