THIS IS A COOL OLD GERMAN BEER STEIN. I KNOW I HAVE SEEN OTHERS WITH THESE UNUSUAL COLORS, LIKE THEY ARE. A SET OR SOMETHING. I DON’T RECALL ANY DETAILS ABOUT THEM THOUGH. THIS ONE HAS A NOTE IN IT THAT SAYS. PROBABLY DATES FROM 1630- 1750. THAT SEEMS LIKE QUITE A SPAN OF TIME! BUT THATS WHAT IT SAYS. DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA MYSELF. THE BOTTOM HAS NO MARK AND IS JUST STAMPED GERMANY. I HAVE HAD IT IN MY. CABINET FOR 30 YEARS OR SO AND IT WAS ALWAYS A FAVORITE. GET SOME OF THESE INTO COLLECTORS HANDS WHO WILL LOVE THEM! NO CRACKS OR CHIPS AT ALL BUT DOES HAVE.
