Label copy

Demonstrating the commonality of certain forms, tall mugs for drinking beer or ale can be found in numerous cultures, as seen here in examples from China, the US, Turkey, Germany, and England. Sometimes called steins or tankards, most of these drinking vessels are ceramic, but some were made of or include other materials, such as silver and leather.
