Catalog No. (F24)
Enameled stoneware, figural, 0.5L or 0.25L, hand-marked �49�.
Created as the coat-of-arms or archival seal of Munich in 1239, the M�nchner Kindl (Munich Child) has evolved from a hooded monk standing in front of Munich�s gate to a charming child and symbol of the city.
This is one of a series of eleven figural steins designed by Franz Ringer, manufactured by Merkelbach & Wick, and then hand-enameled, probably at the Jacob Reinemann facility in Munich. Most have been seen only in a �-liter size and were apparently made specifically for children. They typically carry an incised �J. Reinemann/M�nchen� bottom mark and a hand-painted decoration number (49�59).
