This is a vintage German stoneware beer stein featuring the branding for the historic Pschorr-Bräu München brewery, complete with a hinged pewter lid and traditional speckled salt-glaze ceramic body. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Details

• Origin: Made in Germany (often dating from the mid-20th century or earlier, prior to the 1972 Hacker-Pschorr merger).

• Material: Speckled gray/beige stoneware (Steingut) with a fitted metal lid and ball thumb-lift.

• Design: Features stylized black Gothic script reading "Pschorr-Bräu" alongside wheat stalks and the brewery's star logo. [1, 2, 3, 4]

This lid hallmark confirms that the pewter hardware on your stein was manufactured by Simon Peter Gerz, one of the most prominent Westerwald ceramic and pewter manufacturers in Germany. [1, 2]

Breakdown of the Hallmarks

• The "GERZ" Triangle Logotype: The prominent stylized triangle with "GERZ" text inside represents the official factory trademark utilized during the mid-to-late 20th century. [1]

• The Touchmark (Angel Figure): The figure stamped to the left is a classic European pewter quality touchmark—typically depicting the Angel Michael holding scales or a sword. This is a historical mark utilized by traditional guild smiths to guarantee the metallurgical purity of the composition. [1]

• 97% ZINN: "Zinn" is the German word for tin or pewter. This confirms that the lid is made of premium, food-safe high-grade pewter consisting of 97% pure tin alloy. [1]
