Reinhold Hanke made steins1868-1938. This "Man with Pipe and Stein" stein is about 9-1/2" tall and has mold #1149 and a hard to see R.H. Germany on the bottom and a 0,5L capacity mark. It was required in 1887 to have Germany or Made in Germany on all exports. This stein may have been made 1887-1921.
Gerste u. Hopfen gibt gute Tropfen. Hopfen u. Malz, Gott erhalts.
(Barley and hops give good drops. Hops and malt, may God preserve them.)
August 1st and 2nd 1921 the firm of August Hanke was virtually destroyed by fire, all the molds were destroyed. Its operations from that point were a mere hint of what they had been. August Hanke (Reinhold's son) unsuccessfully attempted to rebuild his business, but he still produced some ceramics at a reduced level. August Hanke died 1938 and all production stopped. So most Hanke steins were made 1868-1921.
