Karen, Since there is no factory mark, these were probably made for the brewery. The scene is Lindenwirtin, a popular poem that was used on steins by several makers. The green background probably dates it between 1915-1930. My guess, in order of preference, is Girmscheid, Thewat or Hanke. Do you see an artist initial on it, like GK? Any verses on the side panels? If you can provide photos of the side panels, capacity mark, handle and marks on the bottom, we might be able to narrow it down further. Ron
