Here we have a German beer stein made by Gerz in West Germany.
Gerz is a well-known manufacturer of beer steins, and their products are collectible due to their quality and craftsmanship. This particular stein features a hinged pewter lid, a common feature designed to keep debris out of the beer. The decorative elements, including the colorful relief scenes and patterns, are typical of German steins.
It’s important to note that the manufacturer ceased operations in 1999. The stein was made when the two Germanys still existed, until October 3, 1990, when Germany reunited.
