I have sent the following email to the seller of this stein - "This stein is most definitely NOT a Mettlach (if for no other reason than Mettlach did not make porcelain). Secondly, it is definitely a reproduction. The stein is date 1899, and if you seriously believe it is original, then you should guarantee it to be at least 100+ years old, which I suspect you realize is incorrect." There is currently one bid on the piece, but it is a private auction, so the bidder cannot be contacted directly. This listing smells bad.
