Handmade German Beer Steins
Zöller & Born is a distinguished family-owned German manufacturer of traditional stoneware beer steins, founded in 1956 by Alois Zöller and Werner Born in the historic Westerwald region of Germany. This area — particularly the Kannenbäckerland — has been renowned for its superior clay deposits and centuries-old ceramic craftsmanship, making it a natural home for one of Germany’s premier stein producers.
