This porcelain beer stein, model #5810, was made by Gerold Porzellan in West Germany and stamped with the mark used in the 1940s — since Tettau, Bavaria became part of West Germany in 1948, this piece dates to around that time, making it over 75 years old. A little girl in a big hat, examining a grasshopper with her rake — autumn in ceramic form.

Turn the stein around, and the same girl is carrying an umbrella and a basket overflowing with carrots — genuinely rare autumn imagery, painted with the same fine detail and warm palette as the front scene.
It's perfect for fall harvest décor, a children's room display, a Gerold Porzellan collection, or simply as a beautifully made antique stein for a bar or shelf.
Made by craftsmen working in the same tradition as Meissen masters, this piece comes from Gerold Porzellan, founded in 1904 in Tettau, Bavaria, by Bernhard Gerold, Nicol Krauss, and August Gerold. Over its nearly century-long history the company produced over 12,000 items before eventually becoming part of the Seltmann Weiden Group in the early 2000s, and pieces under the Gerold name remain highly regarded collectibles today.
