About the Item

Oversized German Werner Corzelius five liter beer stein, lidded mug or tankard featuring a middle age castle theme with a knight or soldier riding horse on cobblestones through the tower gates, being greeted by a group of people and some wild chickens. Marked 1113 WC Germany. Text reads: Esliebte schon die edle Ritterschaft Gemutlichkeit bei Spiel und Gerstensaft. Translated to The noble knighthood already loved comfort with games and barley / wine juice. Aug. Jos. Corzelius (Inhaber Carl Johann Corzelius) / Werner Corzelius Bergstraße 4 & 2, Höhr (now Höhr-Grenzhausen). Rhineland-Palatinate Steinzeugwarenfabrik / Stoneware manufacturer in 1874, August Josef Corzelius married Thekla, the daughter of the potter, Johann Josef Gerhards, and subsequently in 1878, took over and renamed his father-in-law's factory at Bergstraße 4. August Josef Corzelius died here in 1901, but only after the death of Thekla Corzelius in 1909, did their second son, Carl Johann Corzelius take over his father's factory. Carl Johann in the meantime had married Anna Schmidt. Their son Werner Karl (b.12/11/1911 - d.30/12/1988), took over the business from his father in 1945. Up until this point all their pottery had been produced using potters wheels and other traditional methods. But in 1950 they started to design and produce stone tableware, using modern slip moulding techniques. In 1954 the company's name was changed to "Werner Corzelius". In 1966, the company purchased some machinery, moulds & inventory from J.W.Remy. Again in 1971, they purchased some moulds from Eckhardt & Engler, (Werner Karl was a cousin of the Eckhardt's by marriage). In 1975 the company was inherited by Werner Karl's son, Paul-Werner Corzelius (b.1/8/1941), firstly trading as a Limited Company (G.m.b.H) and then as a sole trader (Einzelfirma). At least one Marzi & Remy mould was purchased in the early to mid 1990's. In 2003 the production facilities were leased to another potter. When the two year lease finished in 2005, all stoneware production ceased. Dimensions: 9.75” x 7.75” x 24.5” (Width x Depth x Height)
