From my adult-owned collection is a rare antique Made in Western Germany Ceramic Beer Stein made by E & R (Ebeling & Reuss) Company. It depicts a man stealing a kiss and holding a lute with another man looking on. Stein is approximately 7" tall and is without lid. There is a small indentation on the top of the handle where a lid could be secured. Colors are bright and sharp. The bottom clay was wet-stamped "Made in Germany Western". and there is a label on the side from the maker. This metalized sticker has a picture of a crown and reads, "Golden Crown 1886 E & R Western Germany". Judging by this label and the iron cross above the crown, I believe that this stein was made Ebeling & Reuss Co. between 1955 and 1960. I purchased this stein at auction many decades ago and it has been in my collection ever since. It is in excellent condition and is without chipping or glazing.
