Chris,I don't have a stein by lorenz,but I do have a similar stein to yours with the "prodigal son" motif. It has the same cetral mold,handle,except for the top bit with the thumblift , and is in brown/black, not grey/blue. It's mold no is 512 and is therefor probably later as the color indicates.For me the handle indicates Reinhold Merkelbach as the maker. There was a Prosit article on this scene by,I think, Lottie Lopez way back.
