Collector Value & Key Appeal Factors
This stein is an iconic crossover piece produced by Brazil’s premier art ceramic house, Ceramarte, specifically commissioned by Anheuser-Busch to commemorate the historic XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles. It appeals directly to multiple collector disciplines:
Breweriana & Anheuser-Busch Collectors:
Manufactured during the golden era of Ceramarte stein production for Anheuser-Busch. The bottom stamp bears the full official corporate sponsorship dedication: "This Bud's for you who share the commitment to the highest tradition of competitive excellence, excitement and drama."
Olympic Games & Sports Memorabilia:
The 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games marked a pivotal cultural milestone—the first privately financed Olympic Games and the historic USA boxing/gymnastics run. The stein showcases detailed, raised bas-relief vignettes of key Summer Games sports:
Boxing (two Olympic fighters sparring with headgear)
Road Cycling (peloton riders leaning into the turn)
Diving / Swimming (diver poised at the platform)
Soccer / Track & Field (dynamic slide-tackle action at the base)
Sculptural Handle (Olympic Flame Torch):
Unlike standard curved-handle steins, this model features a custom sculpted 3D Olympic Torch handle with vibrant, hand-painted red ceramic flames, making it a standout display piece from any angle.
Official Emblem Insignia:
Features the classic Budweiser bowtie crest layered over the iconic 1984 "Stars in Motion" Olympic emblem above the five Olympic rings.
