When Hauber & Reuther lost it's clay supply for stoneware in 1886 Gerz started to make steins for H&R to help fill the backlog of orders. Gerz produced HR steins fall into 3 categories.
“1” Those with a Gerz HR log and Gerz capacity mark, "they are very seldom seen."
“2” Those with no mark except a Gerz capacity mark and an HR. RZ stamped inside the lid.
“3” Those with a Gerz capacity mark but with no identifying HR marks whatsoever, but still identifiable as known HR product.
This one only has a Gerz 0,5L capacity mark, no HR or mold number. After looking at H&R made #222 steins I think Gerz reused the old H&R molds. It's about 7-1/2" to the top of the pewter lid.
“Genieß im edlen Gerstensaft, des Weines Geist, des Brodes Kraft.”
(With the honorable barley juice, enjoy the spirit of wine, the power of bread.)
