Norman Rockwell “A Walk in the Country” Stein – 1935 Post Cover Edition

Description :
This vintage ceramic beer stein features detailed relief artwork based on Norman Rockwell’s 1935 Saturday Evening Post cover titled “A Walk in the Country.” The central scene portrays a hiker with walking stick and faithful dog, surrounded by naturalistic details including cattails, branches, and flying wood ducks. The three-dimensional handle is styled as a cattail stalk, reinforcing the rustic woodland aesthetic. Glazed in warm ivory tones with hand-painted accents and gold bands, this piece was created as part of a collectible series celebrating Rockwell’s American life illustrations. It’s a substantial and decorative piece that would appeal to collectors of Americana or breweriana alike.
