Thirsty
Knight Antiques opened its doors in New Market
30 years ago with an emphasis on antique drinking vessels
such as cups and saucers, goblets, beakers, German beer steins,
other drinking vessels. American country furniture and other
antiques were also featured.
Over the
years, the antique beer steins won out over other drinking
vessels and have become the overshadowing features in the
shop. Proprietor, Judy Stuart, has been affiliated with Stein
Collectors International for over 30 years and has traveled
widely to study and purchase the beer steins.
Thirsty
Knight Antiques is one of over 20 shops in the historic district
of New Market, MD just off Interstate 70 at Exit 62. The town
is on the original National Road from Baltimore to the west.
The quaint town also has dining establishments and a bed and
breakfast for shoppers’ and collectors’ convenience.
