Our exclusive purpose is to serve the needs of the Upper Merion community by raising funds and securing resources to support programs that improve the quality of life for all.

The Upper Merion Township Colonial Stoneware Stein
About the stein: this beautiful Colonial Stoneware stein is custom-made for historic Upper Merion Township by Westerwald Pottery in Scenery Hill, PA. The seven-inch stoneware vertical stein is a hand-stamped stoneware inscribed with Upper Merion Township, establishment date, and traditional colonial style decoration (leaf embellishment). Each stoneware piece passes through the hands of up to eight craftsmen. Because of this, no two pieces are alike. See the printable FLYER.
Individual steins can be purchased for $25, 2 for $40. Steins are in stock and arrangements for pickup from the Upper Merion Township Building can be made by contacting Gerri at gvattimo@umtownship.org or calling 484-636-3899.
Attention Businesses: The Upper Merion Township Colonial Stoneware Stein would serve as a great business gift or promotion and can be ordered individually ($25 per stein).
Bulk Sales: Orders of 25+ can be ordered directly from the township ($18 per unit). Contact Gerri Vattimo at gvattimo@umtownship.org or 484-636-3899. Please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery.
