"Beer Stein" is a large drinking mug from the country of Germany. This Drinking vessel was used for drinking large quantity's of beer hence its name (and hopefully the consumption of beer isn't the reason i'm here . lol). Nowadays this vessel is used merely for decoration in my home as remembrance of My father's military stay in Germany . The reason i picked this item is because its a way for me to connect to my birthplace. I know Germany isn't all about beer and drinking rather about a rich culture ,but I've never been back and i don't know if i ever will go back. It has emotional value like i said I've never seen my birthplace everyone has a chance to visit where there born not cause i'm not to keen on flying 15hrs (Fear of flying and heights).In nature its delicate because when moving to my house the handle and part of the rim was broken and chipped. The quotation best used is the paragraph describing the nature of a Egyptian necklace. Which states"The necklace found on Egyptian mummy is unique,old,and costly" . "But even Presented to a museum by someone of wealth and influence ,it still may be hideous". "But it's place in the museum become just as worthy as a necklace made yesterday in a neighboring city".
Its description is defined as a 4d model. Its mostly covered in primary colors blue and white. On the mug it says in German "Gott Erhalt's" which translates God's Sustaining . The other says "Hopfen u. Malz" which translates Hops and Malt. On the mug a family is depicted in white with blue negative space. To the touch its smooth and fine surface .
