Skillfully designed by expert stein artist Jim Wainwright, this stein celebrates Anheuser-Busch's role at the Fair. The 1904 advertisements on each side of the stein attest to the popularity of the brewery as a Fair destination. Between the ads is the A&Eagle design, bordered by a garland of barley and hops. The back of the stein features an illustration of Grant's Cabin. Built by President Ulysses S. Grant, the cabin was exhibited at the Fair. After the Fair, it was purchased by August A. Busch, Sr., who moved it to its current location on Grant's Farm in St. Louis, Missouri. Handcrafted by the artisans at Ceramarte of Brazil, this 9 1/4" tall ceramic stein is rendered in deep ceramic relief. Its pewter lid is accented by a ceramic globe sculpture, and a pewter thumbrest tops the sculpted handle. Each stein is numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
