Joe,
You have a contemporary, post-WWII, stein made by Albert Jacob Thewalt. Their web site is http://www.westerwald-keramik.de/handwerk_thewalt2.htm. West Germany lasted from 1949 to 1990. If you bought your stein in a retail outlet, it probably dates from the latter part of that period. The German translates to, "Beer, love and song never make life tiresome." German translations, including this one, can be found in the Library section.
