Stein with handle and lid, made from section of artillery shell.

Shell is made of polished brass, and has been cut down to resemble a beer stein or tankard. A handle made of darker and possibly different metal has been affixed to the side of the shell, while a lid has been attached via a hinge so that it can be swung open by pressing a section with the thumb while holding the handle. The lid has the inscription "PEACE" with an engraved wreath, possibly composed of laurel or olive branches. Around the top of the stein is a decorative floral border with "THE WORLD" inscribed in the middle. Below is an engraved balance scale, with one pan bearing the inscription "1914" and holding an artillery shell, and the other pan bearing the inscription "19" (possibly an unfinished year) and holding a branch. On either side of the scales are engraved flowers and leaves.
