"Skyguy", you have a Mettlach beaker. It's one of a series of 6 showing souvenir scenes in Germany. Like most of Mettlach beakers it is Print Under Glaze and holds 1/4-liter of beer. I'm not sure if it was made in 1890 or 1906, but I'm leaning toward 06. Marked "Made in Germany" indicates that it was meant for export, but your Great Grandfather could have easily purchased it at a souvenir stand in Bremen. This particular scene is in the beer cellar in the Bremen city hall.
