Capture the adventurous spirit of mid-century Americana with this Jim Beam “Harry Hoffman Ski Country USA” 1969 Ceramic Whiskey Decanter, a stunning collectible produced by Regal China for the James B. Beam Distilling Co. Crafted during the golden era of Beam’s limited-edition decanters, this sculpted ceramic piece beautifully merges regional heritage, advertising art, and functional design.
The decanter depicts a mountain liquor store façade, boldly labeled Harry Hoffman — a real Denver-based retailer of the time — alongside signage for Whiskey, Specialties, and Cordials. The reverse side features a snow-covered peak with a skier in mid-descent, embodying the thrill of Colorado’s iconic slopes.
Finished in a rich, high-gloss glaze, the design showcases Regal China’s expert ceramic craftsmanship and Beam’s trademark attention to thematic detail. The base retains its original metallic label reading “Jim Beam 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 100 Months Old,” affirming its authenticity and adding to its historical charm.
This 1969 Ski Country USA edition remains one of the most collectible releases from Beam’s Ski Country Series, cherished for its storytelling artistry and connection to America’s alpine leisure culture. A striking addition to any vintage barware collection, Jim Beam display, or Colorado memorabilia showcase, it stands as both a nostalgic keepsake and an art object in its own right.
