Kitch or folk art, or both?

This morning I went shopping for home wares at a second hand shop with my daughter, who is moving out, and I found these amazing lidded mugs. They have beautiful relief images on them and seemed so lost amongst the odd cups and saucers and glasses. I had to have them - and they were only $5 each! 

I don't drink beer, and I have never been to Germany or Bavaria or wherever it is they came from (unfortunately) but I can't stop looking at these mugs. They are a knockout!
