Antique Majolica Pottery Monks Figurines KB Beer Steins Match Holder. This antique Majolica pottery figurine set features a group of monks holding a match and beer steins. Made in Austria in the 1920s. The set includes a match holder and is an original piece, not a licensed reproduction. I think that the KB may stand for Kreuz Bier, but it might be some other brand. The steins are most likely meant to be used as match holders and are an example of early brand marketing. The monks are intricately detailed, and the pottery production technique adds to the unique charm of these figurines. They would make a great addition to any collection of vintage advertising memorabilia. Measuring 17cm in height, these figurines are perfect for display on a shelf or in a cabinet. Will be sent with safe packaging.
