History
I received this beer stein from my parents many years ago.
My mother was of German decent and I remember this always being in our home. My mother was born in 1906.
Can you identify the possible date of production and an estimated value?
There are no chips or cracks.

Re: Simon Peter Gerz I Beer Stein
Based on the marking it dates from the 1890's, generally country of origin markings such as "Germany" begin to appear of european pottery in the early 1890's. While not mass produced in the modern sense, they were made in huge numbers for the export market, most like this sell for less than $100.00.
