Gordon, Can you post a photo of your stein? The mark is that of Simon Peter Gerz. He made a mold for what is generally described as the world's largest stein. See http://topcultured.com/worlds-largest-beer-stein/ for an example. That sites attributes the design to the wrong painting and painter. The scene is based on the painting "Flemish Country Wedding" by Pieter Brueghel (the elder). Is your stein missing the lid, thus accounting for the size difference? I have seen different scenes and lids for this stein. Ron
