Reinhold Hanke made steins1868-1938. This "Figures with saying" stein is about 6" tall and has a 0,5L capacity mark, mold #956 and Germany on the bottom, but no makers mark. It was required in 1887 to have Germany or Made in Germany on all exports.
."Maa u. Ziel, das beste Spiel."
(Measure and objective, the best game.)
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 most Hanke steins were made 1868-1921.
This stein was probably made 1887-1821.
