Porzellan
Be it a porcelain figurine
or a dining set - all the
pieces at the porcelain
manufacture at Schloss
Nymphenburg
(see p12)
are based on historic
models. These pieces are
of high artistic value and
hence quite expensive.

Beer Mugs
Simple beer mugs
and glasses or more elab-
orate ones with decorat-
ed zinc lids and painted
designs are available in
most antique shops, in
the department stores
lining the pedestrian zone,
and behind Frauenkirche.

purchase one.

with religious motifs)
originates in the Murnau
region. Traditional crib
figures are created in the

Classic folk dress -
and their contemporary
versions - make good
souvenirs. Accessories,
such as belts, hats, and
fringed scarves are also
available. These are fash-
ioned from fine materials
such as leather, linen, wool,
and loden, and are corre-
spondingly expensive.
Hard to beat are
Leder-
hose
, traditional Bavarian
leather knickerbockers,
which never wear out and
get more and more beau-
tiful with age.
