From the Certificate:

The GERZ Limited Edition Stein 1992 is a replica of

an old historical tankard of 1685, which represents

one of the finest pieces in the GERZ historical collection.

Each has a pewter seal, bearing the special number of the

tankard.

The production for this 1992 stein runs only through

one year. Each year the series will be supplemented

by another stein. The year is embossed in the inside of

the pewter lid.

The Limited Edition 1992 is a cylindrical vessel with

a profiled handle showing the typical rolling to the

outside. The thumb rest is formed like a palm leaf.

Between two pows [sic] of diamond shape relief -

which is typical for this period - there are medallions

showing Gentlemen dressed as courtiers.

Tis right nice, QM James. :) How many ounces of liquid can it hold?

~Lady B

[Quartermaster James]

This stein comfortably holds 20 ounces.

Filled right up to the brim, it takes 24 ounces.

It stands 5 & 3/8 inches tall, not including the pewter lid,

and is 4 inches in diameter at the base.

The pewter lid adds another 1/2 inch to the heighth,

and it is another 1/2 up to the top of the thumb rest.

We got a few steins when we were stationed in Germany, back in the mid 1960's. Got one that looks kinda like that, but its in a cabinet and there's a ship-load of stuff in front of it. Also got a glass one that's dated to 1870...

Bein' an Army brat has some advantages...
