Size: 5. 75" W x 6. 75" H (14. 6 cm x 17. 1 cm). . As Steigerwald and Lamb write, "The base band is slightly flared, whereas the top band is contracted. The main portion of the body of each stein depicts, in full color relief, leather spines of eleven books. There are bands at the base and top of the stein body, which are located immediately above and below the leather spines. On the profession steins these bands are blue. The blue coloring is created by the application of a blue glaze over the grey stoneware. The same color glaze was applied to the handle. The blue varies from medium to dark blue due to the color of the glaze applied to a particular stein. / The spine of each book on these steins is individually titled and divided into 4, 5 or 6 sections. Each of the book spines on a stein is individually colored to assist in appearing as though there are eleven different books on the stein. " ("The Mettlach Book Steins" by Steven Steigerwald and John Lamb - https://www. beerstein. net/articles/s9412a. htm). . According to Therese Thomas, "Otto Hupp was not only a heraldist, he was an engraver too, a publicity designer, a ceramist; he designed book-bindings, postage stamps, and bank notes. This is just a brief view of his great talent and of his artistical activity. What is especially important for beer stein collectors and Mettlach fans is that he designed ceramics and that he worked for different breweries and vineyards. When he was only 25 years old, in 1884, he created a trademark that is still used today by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu in Munich. Almost all stein collectors have seen that sign on coasters and glasses in German pubs. The emblem has existed for over one hundred years now and gives proof that Otto Hupp was really an excellent artist.
