Reinhold Hanke made steins 1868-1938, this 0,5L Gnomes stein is about 7" tall. It has GERMANY. and the mold number #957 on the bottom. In 1887 it was required to have Germany on all exports.
Gegen Bier und Tabaks Dunst ist alle Weiberlist umsunst.
(Against beer and tobacco fumes all women's cunning is in vain.)
August 1st and 2nd 1921 the firm of August Hanke was virtually destroyed by fire, all the molds were destroyed. Its operations from that point were a mere hint of what they had been. August Hanke (Reinhold's son) unsuccessfully attempted to rebuild his business, but he still produced some ceramics at a reduced level. August Hanke died 1938 and all production stopped. So this Hanke stein was probably made 1887-1921.
