Gerz German
Figural Beer Stein / Pitcher ~ German ceramic pitcher made by Gerz
measuring approximately 9.25" tall and 5.5" wide across the
middle. The German text on his belly is "Reiner Wein und
gutes Bier Sind des Wirtes fchonfte Zier". The rough
translation of this is "Pure wine and good beer are the proprietor's
prettiest ornament".
He is in excellent overall condition, with the exception of a thin
vertical stress fracture going straight up from the base rim for approximately
1" through the peach colored area to the gold horizontal
band. It is not easily noticed unless you inspect it closely
(see the 3rd photo).
The Gerz mark on the bottom is a circle with Gerz inside, as well as
a triangle inside the lower bottom of the circle. There is also
the word "Handarbeit" with a number 6, which means "hand
crafted". The pitcher is also entirely hand painted. It
is my understanding that this is a contemporary mark made in the 20th
century, but I have no idea of exact age. A really interesting
full figural toby jug style pitcher! |

Blue & White
German Round Animal Stein by Reinhold Merkelbach ~ Beautiful 0.5
Liter ceramic stein with a blue high gloss finish, adorned with a white
painted raised design of a turkey type bird on the left, a large
antlered animal (elk, deer, antelope?) in the center), and a rabbit
standing on his hind legs on the right side.
The bottom is marked with an RM inside a G, the mark of Reinhold
Merkelback and Grenzhausen between 1945 and 1964. There is also
the number 3501, which I assume is the model or mold number. The
last mark is a capital E impressed on the bottom.
I have not found any damage, repairs, chip or cracks. There is
some missing blue paint on the bottom rim below the center animal with
antlers. It can be seen if you look closely in the first
photo. This would be considered a manufacturing flaw, and not
damage, as it is under glaze.
A wonderful item for the wild animal figurine or German stein collector! |

Large 11"
German Beer Sten ~ Ein Frohes Herz ~ Wonderful German made ceramic
beer stein featuring 2 men smoking pipes, and a lady working on crochet
at an outdoor table, with a dog at their feet. Around the base the
stein reads "Ein Frohes Herz Heilt Allen Schmerz" -- the rough
translation of this is "A happy heart heals all pain."
The pewter lidded stein is 11" tall, is marked 0.5 L (Liters) on
the top side. The bottom has the marks "Made in Germany"
a letter W and a number 2, then a number B201. Exact maker and age
are not known. Other than some light crazing (mostly in the shiny
peach colored section at the top and bottom), we did not find any flaws. |

1950's Vintage
German Pewter Lidded Stein w/ Boar, Deer & Bird ~ Fantastic 1/2
Liter round ceramic stein measuring approximately 5" tall and
3.25" in diameter across the top opening. The figures are a
pheasant or wild turkey type bird on the left, a male and female deer in
the center, and a boars head on the right. The stein base is a
deep blue with a high gloss glaze. The colors are
amazing!
The bottom is marked by the manufacturer, but we have not been able
to identify them. The mark is a capital A over G, with WW
underneath. There are also numbers 20 (inscribed twice) and the number
7250, with the O being larger than the other numbers. We acquired
a similar stein from the same estate that bears an RM in G mark of
Reinhold Merkelbach from 1945 thru 1964, so we are assuming this stein
is of the same vintage, and possibly the same maker or region of
Germany.
In excellent condition with no chips or cracks found. There is
a small spot the size of a fingernail tip near the birds right
wing. I can't tell if this is part of the design, or possibly a
rub to the glazed finish. There are also a couple of very minor
surface scratches. Please e-mail us if you would like
additional pictures of the stein or a photo of the marks on the
bottom. |
