A beer stein, made in the historismus style, dating to circa 1860~1890.
What's nice about this example is that it is not just in the usual blue color, but part of the stein is also in a manganese color.
The capacity of this stein is circa 1/3 liter, although no capacity mark is applied.
The front of the stein shows the face of a man, reminiscent of so-called bellarmine or "bearded man" jugs.
I have yet to find out which producer made this beer stein.
