Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:49266454 |
Very rare and original, ca1905 Pre-Prohibition, Mettlach / Villeroy & Boch Stoneware Advertising Beer Stein / Mug issued and distributed by the Rochester Brewing Company of Rochester, New York.
This original, Rochester Brewing Company Advertising Beer Mug / Stein measures approx. 4 1/8” tall and 3 1/4” in diameter at the base. The Mug features the Trade Mark of the Rochester Brewing Company (a diamond device circumscribing a beer barrel with the head... of Lady Liberty on the end) as well as text below that reads “Rochester Brewing Co.” The bottom of the Mug / Stein features the mark of the manufacturer - Mettlach / Villeroy & Boch – as well as text that reads “Made in Germany”.
The Rochester Brewing Company was founded in 1875 in Rochester and was originally located on Cliff Street. During the period 1889 to 1902, the brewery operated as a branch of the large Bartholomay Brewing Company, also of Rochester. In 1902, Rochester Brewing went independent again and continued in operation up until it was closed by Prohibition. The brewery reopened again after Prohibition and was located at 770 Emerson Street. Their primary brand was Old Topper. Like many upstate New York breweries, Rochester originally specialized in ale, but soon added lager to the brewery's output.
This rare original, Pre-Prohibition Stoneware Advertising Beer Stein is in good to very good condition. There is a 1 3/4”, tight hairline crack that extends from the top edge of the Mug and has associated staining as can be seen in the scans below. There is also a small spider on the base of the Mug and some overall staining to the ground stoneware.
A very rare and original, ca1905 Pre-Prohibition, Mettlach / Villeroy & Boch Stoneware Advertising Beer Stein / Mug issued and distributed by the Rochester Brewing Company of Rochester, New York and with all faults, still a fine addition to any collection!!!
