The Ritzenhoff Seidel Traditional Handled Stein Glass Beer Tankard | Bierglas Range was first Introduced in 2003 with its Fun, Colourful, Beer Caricature Designs capture the essence of Bavaria and it\'s history of Beer drinking and Beer Festivals, the most famous of which is the Munich Beer Festival or Oktoberfest which runs for two weeks from late September through to early October attended by 6 Million people of all Nationalities. As with all products Ritzenhoff commission creative artists and designers from around the World to create designs on a theme. The Bavarian Beer Theme as you would expect is all about the Traditions of the Beer Fest: Men in Lederhosen, Ladies in traditional Blouse called a Dirndl, Colour, Fun, Love, Hearts, Pretzels, Music, Partying, Food and of course beer Drinking! You will also find the odd Monk in there too, with the History of Brewing by the Trappist Monks. The use of Metallic Gold, Platinum and vivid Colours really give you a sense of Beer Caricature, Party and Joy and not to be taken too seriously designs. Each Handled Seidel Beer Tankard comes in a Ritzenhoff Gift Tube with a set of matching Coaster mats. The great thing about this Seidel Beer glass range is that once hooked it becomes a simple gift solution for any occasion as you build your collection which is always being refreshed normally twice a Year. Havens is the largest UK stockist of Ritzenhoff Glassware. We carry good stocks for sale on our website. However from time to time we do run out of stock of some Beer glasses, as does the factory in Germany, so if you require a specific beer glass that is out of stock there may be a 3 to 4 week wait. We would let you know if this is the case. We can also suggest alternate designs we do have in stock if you need in a hurry.
