How do I carry a beer tray?

To carry a beer tray, place your hand under the center with your fingers slightly bent. Use your fingertips and thumb rather than your palm to support it. Arranging wobblier items like bottles in the center and more stable items like glassware on the edges can simplify carrying. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of beer trays.

How can I tell if a beer stein is vintage?

Some beer stein molds have been in use for a long time, so the design is often not enough to tell if you have a vintage piece. On the bottom of the stein, you may find a maker’s mark and even an exact date of manufacture. Another good indicator is to examine the pewter lid and hinge. Pewter acquires an uneven patina over time but fakes that use a darkening agent will have an evenly distributed patina. If the inside of your stein’s lid is much lighter than the outside, that's a good sign you have an antique. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of antique beer steins from some of the world’s top sellers.
