The signature of an artist unknown to me
This is what the volume mark of the mug looks like.
It's a student's beer mug. That's for sure. The peculiarity is that it is unlikely to be a gift from a student to a student. There are no corresponding attributes with crossed swords, traditional mottos and other elements in the title picture.
This is most likely a gift from a student to his teacher, professor. It became fashionable to do this at the turn of the century. There are examples. Based on this,
I conclude that the inscription under the lid should be understood as follows: from student Max von Brause to teacher Felix von Schroeder.
With regard to the heraldry in the form of a moon and an arrow, I can say that in this case we are obviously talking about a university located in the northern part of Germany.
The arrow is a symbol of a man's desire for new victories, achievements, knowledge, etc. The month is a symbol of hidden wisdom, a carrier of knowledge that is not accessible to everyone. With the crown and the crown, everything is clear.
In general, we are not talking about someone's coat of arms. It's like a rebus of symbols with meanings.
The teacher revealed to the purposeful young man the knowledge that allows him to achieve the highest goals of the social order.
This is really a gift from a grateful student to his teacher.
Unfortunately, I can't decipher the artist's name. It is written in the lower part of the interior inlay. The artist's name could help identify the city where the university is located, and hence the university itself. I would appreciate your help in recognizing the artist's name and the name of the university.
