Blown glass with applied handle. Most likely, metallic copper was used in the glass making process to produce the dark red color. By c.1870, the pontil marks on most glass steins were ground/polished smooth.
During the 2nd quarter of the 1800's, pewter use on steins was reduced due to the rising cost of tin. By the 1850's, lids were simple pewter rings with glass or ceramic inserts, thumb lifts were thin and narrow. By c.1860, the closed 5 ring hinge and shank were reduced in size.
