Your stein was made by Villeroy & Boch at their factory in Mettlach around 1900. The "large black bird" is a German imperial eagle. The stein was manufactured in two sizes (1 ltr/½ ltr) and yours is the larger one. In mint condition with the proper inlaid lid (depicting a crown), it has a market value of $1,000+. - fjl
