"1809" Blue Faience stein 1L

From the collection of Mike Finn

I.G.M. and "1809" on the pewter lid, no pewterer touch mark under the lid. It has a five ring closed hinge and no markings at all. It's blue or turquoise inside and out. The stein is 6-1/2" tall, 7-1/4" to the top of the lid and about 9" to the top of the thumb lift. I have seen other blue Faience steins without any decorations and some with worn decorations. I read that some were sold undecorated and painters would finish them in their house or studio. This is my first Faience stein and have no idea who may have made it. It's in relatively good shape compared to some I have seen glued back together or full of cracks on ebay. The description I used on the ones I found on the internet are what someone else thought they may be. If you know more about mine please leave me a message.
Revised 04/05/24 I was told by a few people it was made by Schrezheim.
