Stoneware, raised-relief and transfer decoration. The forest body serves as the border for this stein as well, with the ground vegetation along the lower raised-relief border and the oak leaf branches as the upper raised-relief border. This stein is glazed in gray stoneware with cobalt blue accents to capture the winter mood. The painting by James A Meger is of a winter setting near a stream. The Alpha wolf is seen in the left side in the foreground in front of a full moon, listening and watching carefully the actions of the two howling wolves from his pack on the right side. It is a cold night as one can see the breaths from these wolves against the night air highlighted by moonlight. Snow covered tree branches convey the mood that is set in this scene. The pewter raised-relief lid features an antler center design and evergreen trees form the border decoration. An evergreen tree is the thumblift.
