Product information “Maypole jug 2.0 liter stone brown, painted with FLZD”

The maypole:

The origin of the maypole probably lies with the ancient Germanic tribes and their worship of various forest gods.

Over the centuries, pagan and Christian customs have merged. The current form of the maypole, a tall trunk with a wreath, has been handed down since the 16th century.

The erection of the maypole is often associated with a village or town festival, which usually takes place on April 30, May 1 or Whitsun.

In Bavaria, the maypole is often elaborately decorated by wrapping the trunk in color, adding waving ribbons or carvings. These can represent professions or hobbies.

Depending on tradition, the maypole remains standing in the villages until the end of the month, and in some places until the fall.

Our maypole jug:

The tall, slender shape of the jug fits perfectly with the maypole theme, which is depicted in particularly deep relief and elaborately painted by hand.4

The maypole is framed by a heraldic relief. Below the tree is the lettering Bavaria with the state coat of arms or diamond motif on the side.

With our handmade Maypole beer mug, you can bring a piece of joie de vivre into your home for the whole year.
