Gerz West German Hunting Themed Stein

Gerz West German Ceramic Beer Stein with a hinged pewter lid.

The stein depicts a classic hunting scene, a popular motif in traditional German beer stein designs, often featuring elements like hunters, wild boars, and forest settings. The image shows a hunter with a hat, feather, hunting bag, and dagger, along with possibly a fox on the handle (if present) and cherubs.

It is made of stoneware (ceramic) with a pewter lid, a common combination for authentic German steins, especially those produced in the Westerwald region, renowned for its rich clay deposits.

The "West Germany" marking indicates it was produced between 1949 and 1990, during the Cold War era, before German reunification.

Authentic Gerz steins, like the one pictured, often feature the iconic "pitcher in the triangle" logo impressed on their base, and may have additional markings like "OLD GERZ - FROM OUR FIRMEN ARCHIV" or "GERZ W. GERMANY," especially for items from the West Germany period.
