Description: This is a vintage Gerz West German lidded stein with beautifully crafted design and intricate details in blue ceramic, making it a RARE find. The body of the stein depicts a man drinking beer and eating outside with a barmaid serving him. The Gerz logo and words "W Germany" are clearly stamped on the bottom of the stein, indicating it was made in West Germany, before the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification of West and East Germany. It also features the words "Keinen Tropfen Im Becher Mehr", which translate to "Not a drop in the mug". This verse is the first part of a student drinking song "der Lindenwirt" (Keeper of the Lime Tree Inn) by R. Baumbach 1876. It is a must-have piece of history for any collector of breweriana and beer memorabilia and will make a great decor item and a conversation starter. It is from my father's treasured beer stein collection, one of many steins he acquired on trips to Europe during the 1980's and early 1990's, making this stein a vintage piece. It has been kept behind glass and enjoyed for display purposes only. It has never been used for drinking and was rarely handled, leaving it in excellent MINT condition - a rare find for vintage pieces. I don't see any nicks, chips, dents, cracks, or fading. Please see the pictures to view all of the unique details of this piece as they are part of the description of the item and condition. It measures about 9.5 inches tall with the lid, and the stein itself is approximately 7.5 inches inches tall. The diameter at the bottom of the stein measures about 3.5 inches Shipping and Handling In an effort to be environmentally conscious, we may re-use shipping materials.
