    Description

    The stein depicted in this auction was created by Villeroy & Boch from the town of Mettlach.  The name of the piece is the Tree Trunk and has the form number 368.  The stein has a inlaid lid with a very nice thumb.  The piece is pottery, figural, and the size is 0.5 L.  Among the most well-known and highly regarded manufacturers from the “golden age” of German beer stein production in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is the Villeroy & Boch factory at Mettlach. Located on the grounds of a former Benedictine abbey on the Saar river in southwest Germany, the factory was originally established in 1809 by Johann Franz Boch-Buschmann, who merged with competitor Nicholas Villeroy in 1836 to create the firm of Villeroy & Boch.
