Paulanerbräu München – Paulaner “W Shield” Mark
Description:
0,5L stoneware brewery stein featuring a smooth beige glaze and vividly printed Paulanerbräu München motif. The design showcases a color-rich circular Paulaner logo with the iconic monk (holding a beer stein marked Salvator) set against a rising sun and village backdrop. The inner circle is divided into four quadrants with stylized scrollwork in orange and blue, framed by golden barley stalks and vibrant green hops winding through a blue ribbon banner.
Lid & Pewterwork:
• Acorn-style thumblift
• Open 5-ring hinge
• Smooth tin lid (plain, no markings underneath)
Side Markings (incised):
• Capacity: “0,5L”
• Calibration line with squared hash marks
• Wick-Werke maker’s mark: stylized shield with incised “W” inside
Manufacturer: Wick-Werke, Höhr-Grenzhausen, Rheinland-Pfalz
Date: ca. 1970s–1980s
Notes: Produced as part of Paulaner’s mid-century promotional or branded stein runs. The dynamic design, vivid colors, and crisp glaze reflect the transition from rustic to more graphic/modern brewery branding during the Wirtschaftswunder era. Though not rare or old, it’s a well-executed and appealing piece for Paulaner or Munich brewery stein collectors.
As always, I welcome your feedback.
