Hauber & Reuther lost their clay supply for stoneware in 1886. So, they started making steins out of porcelain. In 1888 they contacted Merkelbach & Wick to make ivory stoneware steins for them. Then added lids and sold them as H&R products. The HR logo on the base is close to a real HR logo but different and unique to M&W made steins. The capacity mark is a common M&W capacity mark. The stein is about 7-1/2" to the top of the pewter lid. The hand painted Germany on the base is wearing off.
