Burgie was the cartoon mascot for Burgermeister Beer of San Francisco. He appeared in the brewery’s print and television advertising during the 1960s, bringing a playful personality to the brand.
CONDITION: Good vintage condition with a few very small smudges or scuffs. Small pits and dark specks beneath the glaze are original manufacturing characteristics. The original maker’s mark remains visible on the base. See photos for details.
