"Gnomes with barrels of beer" Terracotta stein about 5-1/2" tall, F.C. 27 on the base.
In1829 Wilhelm Schiller and Friedrich Gerbing began the pottery firm of Schiller &
Gerbing in Podmokly, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). Gerbing died in 1850 and
Schiller continued to run the factory with widow Karoline Gerbing. This new arrangement did not work out well, so Schiller left and started another firm along with his son Eduard in the nearby town of Obergrund. The name of this new pottery factory was Wilhelm Schiller and Son. They continued production until 1914 when WWI broke out. Most men were called into military service bringing production to a halt. The factory was never opened again. Majolica items from the W. Schiller & Son factory are easily found. They worked for many years and their products were very popular. Steins on the other hand, were not made in any large numbers by Schiller and one from this firm can be rather difficult to find. The five ring open pewter hinge was used around 1900 to modern day.
