This 1/2-liter beer mug was made in 1888 by Martin Pauson K.G. (owned by Martin Pauson and Hugo Aufseesser) in Munich.
Martin Pauson was born on June 8, 1861, in Redwitz an der Rodach, Bavaria. For more information about Martin Pauson, please visit the following link: [link]
Martin Pawson started his business on November 5, 1884 in Munich with the wholesale and retail sale of kitchen utensils, tableware and other household goods. Gradually, he expanded his activities. He acquired a workshop for painting porcelain and glass products, created a tin casting production and a workshop for artistic metalworking.
By 1888, beer mugs had become an important part of Martin Pawson's product range. In the same year, the 3rd International Art Exhibition was held in Munich. In the illustrated catalog of the exhibition, an advertisement for Pauson products was published in the "Advertising Works" section. In this advertisement, Martin Pauson, addressing the guests of Munich and the visitors of the exhibition, presented his first beer mugs from the "Munich Child" souvenir series. "Special offers: beer mugs and figurines of Munich children with Bavarian lithophany," - stated the 1888 advertising flyer by Martin Pauson.

In our case, the mug is made of porcelain. The bottom of the porcelain mug is decorated with a lithophany pattern depicting flirting in a tavern.
The mark indicating that the mug belongs to Martin Pauson's workshop is placed in two locations. The porcelain painters have engraved the mark on the outside of the mug, below the handle, in black letters on a white background, reading "Martin Pauson München." The tin smiths have placed the PAUSON stamp on the side of the support post for the hinge mechanism that lifts the lid of the mug.
In the lower front part of the mug, there is an inscription "Münchner Kind" on a blue background, which translates to "Munich Child" in German.
