Overview
This is the highly recognizable 2000 edition of the Budweiser Holiday Stein series, titled 'Holiday in the Mountains' (model CS416).
Story
Manufactured in 1999 by Ceramarte in Brazil for Anheuser-Busch's 2000 holiday season. The 'Holiday in the Mountains' edition continues the long-running annual tradition of featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales in winter scenes, a series that began in 1980. The secondary market for late 1990s and early 2000s Budweiser holiday steins is heavily saturated. Millions of these were produced and preserved by collectors, leading to a massive oversupply today.
Maker / Origin
Unattributed
Condition & Value
Assuming standard pre-owned condition based on the description. For these steins, value is highly dependent on being free of chips, cracks, or crazing. The presence of the original box and certificate of authenticity (COA) is preferred by collectors but only marginally impacts the already low secondary market price.
Full Research
Sold comps, value drivers, and venue guidance pulled from recent auction results.
The secondary market for late 1990s and early 2000s Budweiser holiday steins is heavily saturated. Millions of these were produced and preserved by collectors, leading to a massive oversupply today. Consequently, they trade as low-value commodities on platforms like eBay and Mercari, with buyers primarily looking to fill specific gaps in their collections rather than paying premium prices.
▲ Exact model match (CS416) confirms identity and market placement.
▲ Iconic Clydesdale motif maintains baseline decorator appeal.
▼ Massive secondary market oversupply heavily suppresses resale value.
▼ High shipping weight relative to item value often deters online buyers.
▼ Unverified presence of original box and COA; missing packaging limits appeal to strict collectors.
Best Venue
List on a peer-to-peer marketplace like eBay or Mercari with a Buy It Now price of $10 to $12, accepting offers to facilitate a quick sale. Given the $5 to $10 realistic clearing price and high shipping costs for heavy ceramics, consider bundling with other steins if available, or selling locally on Facebook Marketplace to avoid shipping logistics entirely.
Upside Potential
There is virtually no upside beyond the $10-$15 range for a general seller, as the market is flooded with mint-in-box examples; achieving the $25 dealer retail price requires an established specialty storefront and long hold times.
