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 pewter lid.
“3” Those with a Gerz capacity mark but with no identifying HR marks whatsoever, but still identifiable as known HR product.
This one has a Gerz HR logo and 0,5L capacity mark, with mold number 199. It's about 6" to the top of the pewter lid.

(This is an art which comes from Gods grace. No matter how beautiful this art may be, it will last only until death.)
