Münchener Kindl character stein |197| Collection Paul Van Eck

From the collection of Paul Van Eck

Nice little Münchener Kindl character stein in stoneware. Marked GESETZLICH GESCHUTZT, but no mold nr or other markings.
Height including lid is 14.7cm.

A fellow collector sent me an email through this site informing me that he identifies this stein as a Marzy & remy model. This matches with the "GESETZLICH GESCHUTZT" marking, which was often used by (but not only by) Marzi & Remy.

Another collector referred me to a stein that is listed in The Beer Stein Book by Gary Kirsner (page 314). It is listed there as having been produced by Merkelbach & Wick. That stein looks very similar indeed, although it is a larger size and the Münich child's head is slightly different. Furthermore, Merkelbach & Wick are not known for using the 'GESETZLICH GESCHUTZT' marking.

So at this moment I am not convinced on either one of the possible producers.
