An original vintage Simon Peter Gerz West German regimental porcelain beer stein. Features a pewter lid adorned with a mounted soldier and an eagle with spread wings. The body is painted with a beautifully detailed colorful scene of a battlefield with soldiers and military decorations. Marked on the bottom. Circa 1960 - 1990. Note: Simon Peter Gerz formed the company that bears his name in 1857, beginning the actual production of ceramic wares in 1862. The economic upheaval brought about by World War I and its aftermath caused Gerz to cease production for a brief period in 1917 - 1918 and again in 1923, but nonetheless the company managed to survive for more than 135 years and, in fact, became the dominant player among Westerwald ceramics manufacturers in the period following World War II. Collectible German Beer Steins, Home Decor And Gifts.
