Decorative Beerstein, salt-glazed stoneware with scrollwork with toast "Wohl bekomm's", meaning "To your Health". Skew 0.3L capacity mark on side, no marker's mark or mold number on bottom, but in the library on Beerstein.Net [link], the capacity mark was identified as "SPG#1", the handle as "SPG#2" and the stein could be found as mold number 535 Variant "A" beside a 2L pitcher of the same design and a double-cone 1/4L stein with identical mold number in the Simon-Peter-Gerz-Catalog.
Pewter lid with lyra-like cast marks, inside touch-marked "RZ" for Rein-Zinn, decorative thumb-lift and three-ring open hinge.
