Have a ceramic, seems to be hand-painted, keg/stein whose dimensions are approx 18" H (to tip of gnome's head) and 13" wide. I bought it in Montreal about 8(?) years ago at an antique store (it was in the window and it just drew me in). Through some research it seems to depict the battle of Teutoberg Forest. Some of the warriors are holding little signs that say SPOR. It has a stamp on the bottom 856B with a stein in a triangle. I have attached pics below. Thanks for any info you may have - what it is, who made it, when and approx value? Regards, Sam https://picasaweb.google.com/108464884555975270552/Keg?authkey=Gv1sRgCP6npPa3uMfxwAE
