This transparent stemmed beer glass features a polychrome screen print signed by J. Ratkoff, an illustrator who created several series of glasses with Alsatian and Bavarian motifs in the 1970s-1980s. The scene depicts two drinkers seated at a table, joyfully toasting, while a waitress in traditional costume, with a floral apron and embroidered bodice, approaches carrying several beer steins. The colors are vibrant and well-preserved, and the line work is dynamic and expressive, very characteristic of the illustrator's style. The shape is that of a classic beer glass with a short stem and a round base, featuring a tall, cylindrical bowl. The height is approximately 19 cm. The glass is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
