From "Wikipedia" "The Federal Republic of Germany can refer to two things:. West Germany from 1949-1990; Germany since German reunification in 1990 ..."
My stab at this would suggest that the stein was made since 1990, after reunification. It would have been marked West or Western Germany between 1949 and 1990.
