Large Antique Etched Beer Stein by M. Girmscheid – Bowling Theme #1087 c. Description: Fantastic large antique German beer stein made in the “etched” technique that is usually associated with Mettlach. However, it was made by Matthias Girmscheid – one of the major beer stein manufacturers in early 1900s Germany. He established his own company in 1870 in Hoehr, now – Hoehr-Grenzhausen, the famous Westerwald stein-making area. The stein is made of pottery in an etched technique with hand-painted coloring. The design is quite interesting. The central medallion shows a man with a bowling ball ready to deliver. The side panels show people drinking in a tavern and saluting the bowler. Ein wack’rer Mann der kegeln kann. It’s a brave man who can bowl. Des Kegelspeil gibt Freuden viel. Bowling gives much happiness. The lid is made of ceramics without a framing pewter ring. This is typical for Girmscheid. It shows bowling pins and a bowl with the inscription Alle Neun! , the motto of the sport of bowling. The German version of bowling – Kegeln – was 9 pin game. This is a large stein measuring 10.25 tall with a capacity of 1 L. It is marked with the word “Germany” and model number 1087.
