Stoneware stein, made for the Low Countries

Aus die Sammlung von Paul Van Eck

This type of stoneware drinking vessel was made in the 18th and (mostly) 19th century. As far as I know the Low Countries (Netherlands and Belgium) are the only countries where such steins were sold to, since I have yet to see an example that turned up in another country..
This example measures appx 18 centimeters excluding the pewter lid. It will date to the early to mid 19th century, is my 'guesstimate'.

There is no pewterer's mark on the lid. The top of the lid has the letters "JL", commonly the initials of the original owners.
