This is a vintage original GERZIT GENZ West German lidded beer stein mug with pewter lid, no original box or paperwork. This mug/tankard features a Gótz Von Berlichingen blue/white design.

It first appeared in English in 1799 as Goetz of Berlichingen of the Iron Hand in a rather free version by Walter Scott.
