Marzi & Remy and Various Makers, Collection of German Ceramic Beer Steins and Mugs, Mid to Late 20th Century
Description
A diverse collection of traditional German beer steins and mugs, primarily crafted from relief-moulded stoneware and porcelain. The group includes two large steins featuring hinged pewter lids with decorative thumb lifts, one of which is marked GERMANY on the handle, suggesting a mid-20th-century origin. Notable pieces include a mug inscribed with the German phrase MIT ZECHE UND LIEBE (With Carousing and Love) and another featuring the CHATEAU motif. The collection showcases a variety of decorative styles, from vibrant multi-coloured tavern scenes and floral patterns to more muted landscapes. Based on visual characteristics and web consensus, the lot likely includes examples from established manufacturers such as Marzi & Remy. The items vary in size, providing a comprehensive overview of 20th-century German breweriana. The largest steins measure approximately 25 cm in height, with the smaller mugs measuring approximately 10 cm in height.
