A souvenir beer stein produced for the 1933 A Century of Progress International Exposition held in Chicago. The earthenware body features a cream-colored glaze with blue transfer-printed decorative motifs. The central design displays the official 1933 Worlds Fair logo featuring a stylized globe and orbital lines, accompanied by the text 1933 A CENTURY OF PROGRESS CHICAGO. The opposite sides feature traditional Alpine-style portraits: a man smoking a pipe labeled Franzl and a woman with braided hair labeled Resi, both positioned above floral edelweiss banners. The vessel is finished with a domed metal lid, likely pewter, featuring a shell-form thumb lift. An incised mark 1/2 l is located on the shoulder near the upper handle attachment, indicating the capacity.
