Marks from this factory are easily recognized, consisting primarily of
the combination of RM (Reinhold Merkelbach), and G (Grenzhausen).
From 1972 to 1988 this firm was part of Goebel Group. During this time
some limited edition reproductions of Jugendstil period steins were
produced, as well as saltglazed items in the scratch-decorated style.
They now are independent once again, although operating on a very
limited scale.
