Vintage German Stoneware Wine Jug - Simon Peter Gerz

Grey 0.5 litre stoneware jug by Simon Peter Gerz GMBH featuring a relief of two young children carrying a large bunch of grapes with detailing picked out in cobalt blue. The motto across it reads "Trinkt wie eure Väter aus Stein den Wein" which translates roughly as "Drink as your fathers, wine from the stone" although a we don't have a suitable English word meaning stone(ware) to rhyme with wine. Stein is actually short for stoneware and does not, as is erroneously thought, mean a drinking vessel. It is marked on the base with the Gerz mark as used during the partition years. It is in excellent condition.

16cm (h) x 13cm diameter across handle

German Decorative Stein - Schilz

German stoneware beer mug/stein by Schilz of Höhr-Grenzhausen. It is in a speckled brown finish with brown and blue swags and incidental decoration. I have no idea of the date - Post 1952 when the logo was adopted and probably post reunification so I have cautiously opted for 1990s. Apart from a couple of stains on the inside it's in excellent condition. 

13cm (h) x 13.5cm (across handle)

Vintage German Stein - Marzi & Remy

Very nice but unspectacular German beer stein from Marzi & Remy. The mark on the base dates it from post 1964 although I have not been able to date it exactly. The style suggests late 60s although I could be wrong. There is a number 6 or 9 on the base but nothing else, not even a capacity mark. Condition is extremely good, only one or two very tiny chips to the glaze around the base but these do not detract from the overall quality.
