What are pewter steins?
Pewter steins are drinking vessels complete with a levered lid that helps to keep bugs out. You would push the lever with your thumb to flip the lid up, so that you could access your beverage, usually beer. You’ll find a variety of steins from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
