Nice RARE grey and cobolt blue 1986 Deumler and Breiden HOHR Beer stein

Peter Dümler (b. 7/11/1860 - d. 19/04/1907) and his brother in law Albert Breiden (b. 12/06/1860 - d. 27/05/1926) commenced manufacturing around 1883. Peter was the designer, having been trained by both R. Hanke & S.P. Gerz. In turn Albert , trained by his uncle S.P.Gerz, ran the factory. Peter died in 1907 and Albert took over running the business, with the help of Bertha, Peter's widow. Peter's son, Paul stepped into his father's shoe's designing the Terra Sigillata range around this time, but his career was regrettably cut short, as he did not return from the war. In 1918, a cousin, Ernst Dümler joined to take his place. Meanwhile Albert had already sold his share of the business in 1913. After the war, Albert managed the business of S.P. Gerz I . with the help of his sons, Adolf & Hermann. Albert died in May, 1926 at the age of 65 and Hermann continued the management of S.P.Gerz. Production finally ceased in 1995. Whilst most steins were manufactured between 1890 and the 1930's, stein production stopped totally in 1957. Description:  It has their mark on the bottom
