German hand made beer stein heraldic lion salt glaze?

I like the quote that finishes that last link:

“I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve traveled to. But first, I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down.”

I'm happy that the stein was ID'd. I'm satisfied that it's Wim, not just for the treatment of the lion but also for the other bits of ornament, the overall treatment, and the mark (stylized butterfly? - I thought it was a double axe). I think this is a well-made, good quality stein. That's why I bought it in the first place, even without knowing who made it. I don't have a problem with it being later production. I sure hope being able to put a name to it will make all the difference in trying to sell it. Thanks again!

 

It's actually a stylized W over M

 

Incised mark #414A plus stylised butterfly

In the recent ebay world it hardly sells at all.
None listed on ebay US by name, some probably listed as unknown.

Of 49 international listings two sold.

I would think it should sell well in a shop where someone can see it in hand.

 

I just keep editing that description. Too bad about the sales result, but I'll list it anyhow and give it that ol' college try. I can remember someone saying about steins that if it's not Metlach, it's not worth the effort.

 

JMHO.
there's no use of thinking people outside continental Europe would know the smaller manufacturers. people that know a little about salt-glaze (simply smashing in salt at the top of the kiln in the process of the second stage of burning) will look for (in this order...) Westerwald, Höhr, Grenzhausen, and -for the sake of age - Höhr-Grenzhausen (since 1. of aprile 1936 - no joke of Onkel Adi for once...).
