Etched and relief with figural inlaid lid.
Thin thumb lift and open 3 ring hinge c.1892 - WW1.
Handle is very similar to JWR-45 on TBSL
From TBSL: "Founded circa 1852 in the westerwald town of Höhr (now Höhr-Grenzhausen), the firm of Joh. Peter Thewalt maintained continuous operations through several generations thereafter. However, there is little evidence that any stein production took place prior to 1887, following the death of the founder and the takeover of management by his son Karl. Eventually succumbing to the to financial strain of the depression, the firm closed it doors for good circa 1930. J.P. Thewalt steins often exhibit striking similarities to those produced by the firm of J.W. Remy, including identical components such as handles and lid inlays. This crossover can be attributed to the fact that Karl Thewalt was married to the daughter of J.W. Remy, which led to the sharing between the two firms of technology, workers, and even a common kiln."
The female in the central image represents Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt, raising her spear and holding three hunting dogs.
Text: "Long live he who struts on earth in green splendor,
the woods and the fields, the huntsman and the hunt."
Text is from a poem written by Wilhelm Müller in 1822 and set to music in 1823 by Konradin Kreutzer. The opening line makes reference to the Förster (forest ranger) and his traditional green uniform (Trachtenanzug).
