Otto von Bismarck (1815-98) was known as the �Iron Chancellor� and is generally acknowledged as having been the prime mover in unifying the German states under a single ruler (Wilhelm I) and in the rise of Germany as a great European power.
Reproductions of this stein (0.5L), principally full-color but also honey-toned, were made by multiple manufacturers after World War II, including Rastal, R.P.M. and others. Some have been seen displaying the typical Schierholz crosshatch (#) mark, and others have no mark at all. It is unclear whether or not any of these reproductions were actually made in the Schierholz factory.
Price Ranges 0.5L (full-color): $3,600-$4,400 0.5L (blue): $600-$800 0.5L (honey): $200-$300 0.3L (honey): $175-$250 Reproductions (all versions): $125-$175
