Good evening all! Recently I purchased two steins, different sellers, on eBay. One is eBay item 6102590588, Marzi & Remi, 0.5 liter, relief and "signed" GT. My questions for this one are the following. Is "GT" credited for the decoration, excluding the main scene, which is the group of men? The Girmscheid catalogue, in The Beer Stein Library contains four steins with the identical group. The stein numbers are: 654, 1057,1058, 1123 and they are "signed" KB. One stein, 817, is unsigned. The Beer Stein Library also mentions that the scene is based on a painting titled "Zur Gesundheit", (To your Health), by Franz von Defregger (1835-1921). I am aware that one factory would sometime fabricate part of a stein and another would complete it. Would this scene be part of a "stock" mold added to the decorative design made by, in this case, GT? At this point, I will let you rest your eyes and spare you the questions regarding my other acquisition...for now. Thanks for your patience but hoping to receive a valid answer. Regards, Tony B
