The large glass mug is made using pressed glass technology. At the bottom of the mug there is a stamp in the form of an imperial crown topped with a cross. The crown itself is decorated with the letters S and G. This brand is a trademark of the German glass factory Sächsische Glasfabrik August Walther & Söhne AG. Thus, the letters S and G on the surface of the crown are the first letters from the words of the factory name.
The history of the company originates from the German glass production technologist Max Hirsch.
In 1878, Max Hirsch founded the Vereinigte Radeburger Glashütten AG in Radeburg an der Dresden (Saxony). Next, he began to produce products from hollow and pressed glass on presses imported from the USA. In 1886, Max Hirsch merged with Sachsische Glasfabrik and took its name. Max Hirsch was the son-in-law of August Walter. At Max's suggestion, August Walter founded the August Walther and Söhne company in 1888. In 1924, Walter Hirsch (born 1880 – died 1966), the youngest son of Wilhelm Hirsch, who was on the board of directors of Sachsische Glasfabrik, became a partner in the Würzburg firm of Franz Rückert and others, founding a new company Radeberger Bierglasmalerei.
In 1929-1932, after the financial collapse, the Walter family lost its controlling interest due to poor management of its company, and so August Walther & Söhne AG Ottendorf-Okrilla merged with Sächsische Glasfabrik AG Radeberg to form Sächsische Glasfabrik August Walther & Söhne AG Sitz Radeberg. Production resumed. Read more details at the link:

The mug is equipped with a pewter lid with ceramic inlay. The surface of the lid is decorated with a pattern with a story from rural life. The drawing is accompanied by an inscription, which, translated from German, reads as follows: "In the morning, when the day comes",
"I offer my prayer to God.
Then I harness my oxen
and start plowing".
On the inner surface of the lid there is a seal with the inscription E.W. Regensburg, which is located on top of the bridge over the Danube River. This is what the brand of the Eugen Fritz Wiedamann factory from Regensburg looks like.

The history of this tin factory began in the middle of the 19th century by the ancestors of Ogen Wiedemann. It existed until 1975. Over the years, the tinware factory has repeatedly changed the design of its brand.
The stamp, which can be seen on the back of the lid, dates back to the period 1940-1950.
