Hersteller / Manufacturer
After being repurchased in 1937, Ernst Bohne & Söhne was reopened, at the original address, as Albert Stahl & Co. vormals Ernst Bohne & Söhne . Albert Stahl was the
one time accountant for Ernst Bohne & Söhne. Following World War II the factory was nationalised by the East German government and subsequently merged with the
Sitzendorfer Porzellanmanufaktur in 1974, but then in 1990 was reprivatised and reassumed the name Albert Stahl & Co. At this point they commenced
making "reproductions" of the Ernst Bohne & Söhne range, as well as other figural steins. They are still trading today.

The modern "Anchor BS" mark, used on Stahl's first steins, replaced the "Anchor EB" mark of E.Bohne Söhne Some collectors of original E. Bohne Söhne were unable to differentiate between the two, and it was soon replaced by the "Crown & Shield" mark. This particular example was on the base of the "Arsch mit Oren" character stein. "Arsch mit Oren" or Arse / Ass with Ears is slang for "Silly Bugger"
