Pottery, figural, 0.5L. Matthias Girmscheid was born in 1845 to merchant parents and began his working life in the family tradition, opening his own trading firm in 1870 in the town of Höhr. Girmscheid’s manufacturing company began it’s life in 1884 and was apparently engaged initially in the manufacture of clay pipes. It is not known precisely when Girmscheid expanded his operation to include the manufacture of beer steins and related stoneware products, but by 1903 the firm was listed as a “stoneware factory”. In 1920, in what was almost certainly a response to Germany’s difficult post-war economy, Girmscheid merged with the firm of Gilles & Sohn. In 1930, two years following the death of Matthias Girmsched, the composition of the firm changed again. The new firm was called Girmscheid, Michels & Company, and included among its owners: Karl Girmscheid, who had taken over for his father; Simon Gilles, of Gilles & Sohn; and Alfons and Eduard Michels. Following the death of Karl Girmscheid in 1950, the company went through a series of ownership changes, but it continues in operation today, enjoying a healthy business focused principally on the manufacture of traditional salt-glazed tableware and decorative items.

Marked Made in Germany 21 on base. Merkelbach Manufaktur was established in 1843. The founder was Wilhelm Merkelbach whose family pottery traditions had dated bach to 17th century. The pottery was developed by his son Reinhold Merkelbach. After his death the Merkelbach Manufaktur was managed by widow Toska Merkelbach and in 1907 it was overtaken by sons Paul and Reinhold Merkelbach. The sons of Toska Merkelbach died in the WWI. She had to manage the company again in order to save manufactory for her grandson Reinhold Paul Bernhard Merkelbach born in 1918. Professor Reinhold Paul Bernhard Merkelbach took over a factory in 1957. He was a scientist and the factory was run by managers. In 1971 50 percent of the company was bought by W. In 1985 Goebel overtook remaining 50 percent of the downsized company. In 1988 Merkelbach family and a collector and some workers repurchased the factory. Production had to be stopped around 2007 when it became clear that further production of ceramics in Germany was no longer a viable option.

Please see my short “Stein-Cam” video by following the link in the description for best views. The good, the bad, and the ugly description…. GOOD: Very good surviving condition, full color, antique, character beer stein. Intricate details of Woman’s head with flowers and braided hair. BAD: Back of inlaid lid suffered a break with some pottery loss on the back of her head above her hair bow. See photos and video. Not visible when displayed from the front but collectors will want to know about same. Age consistent crazing as expected and common. UGLY: Nothing, fantastic addition to begin or help complete your character stein collection.

Short YouTube condition video link in description below for best views. Surface cleaned and inspected for sale. Wear commensurate with age, display, storage, and moving. Expected antique production technique flaws. Interior crazing and spots as shown. Center hinge ring was broken sometime in the past. The upper portion of the broken ring protrudes slightly and prevents lid from opening fully. Opens as far as shown in photos. Appears someone tried an at-home repair to bend or remove the pewter that protrudes. I have not and will not attempt any repairs. I will leave any cleaning or repairs to future owner. Strap and strap support are tight. Awesome, surviving example of this more scarce stein would make a very special gift for the antique, sports related, or character beer stein collector.
