Mid-Century Salt-Glazed Bierstein with Pewter Lid - Marzy Remy - 1960s

A handsome salt-glazed stein by Marzi & Remy of Höhr-Grenzhausen, in Germany’s Westerwald heartland.

The tapering body is richly moulded with foliate panels picked out in deep cobalt against the classic pebble-textured grey ground, capped with a domed pewter lid and thumb-lift.

It’s a superb example of the region’s centuries-old stoneware tradition - robust, decorative, and made for celebration. Display it with other German ceramics, use it for an occasional pour, or gift it to the stein collector in your life.
