German Beer Stein With Lid | Made in Germany by Reinhold Merkelbach | EUC Vintage 1960s Reinhold Merkelbach Lidded German Stein 8.5 inches tall. Mark indicates its production between 1964-1968. Numbered 4084.Text loosely translates as: “I praise a nice girl” and “A happy song and good beer.”During the time period of the late 1940s thru the 1960s, Merkelbach’s Alt Deutsch steins became very popular both in Germany and in the U.S., while the handgeritzt items enjoyed unprecedented popularity in Germany, and most of those pieces were never exported.It was especially during the 1950s and ’60s that the production of the salt glazed handgeritzt pieces increased dramatically with the addition of many larger pieces, such as wine bowls, tobacco humidors, umbrella stands, lidded canister sets, etc. These supplemented the popularity of table settings that included everything from bowls and butter dishes to candle holders and flower vases.One reason behind the dramatic growth of the handgeritzt tableware and household pieces in Germany was the need for large quantities of basics to replace the items destroyed by WWII bombing. A great many cities and towns had been heavily damaged and many buildings needed to be repaired, or completely razed, then rebuilt, and finally restocked with basic daily necessities. During this reconstruction period, for a ceramic company, the more basic household product you could produce, the more you could sell, and no one was producing enough. Demand far outpaced production.It was in the late 1950s that Gertrude and Paul’s son (Toska Merkelbach’s grandson), Dr. Reinhold Paul Bernard Merkelbach, temporarily took over managing the company. His objectives were to greatly increase the factory’s production capacity and improve its technical capabilities. To this end, he had built two additional factory buildings with newer and larger kilns. However, Dr. Merkelbach had no desire to manage the day-to-day operations of the firm, and his daughter, Judith Merkelbach (later Judith Engelmann), was too young for such duties at the time, so when the expansion had been accomplished, the day-to-day operations were once again returned to the control of professional managers hired from outside the family.Throughout the 1960s and ’70s the business remained very strong and followed the same geographic strengths, i.e., with the Old German Alt Deutsch steins still popular both in Germany and the U.S., while demand for salt-glazed handgeritzt items continued to be strong in Germany.
