Hi All.

I recently purchased an old, salt-glazed beer stein and am wondering if anyone would help me identify the maker and/or age. It is hand thrown, approx. 14" tall, blue and gray with intricate religous relief and coggle work. The woman I bought it from said someone brought it back from Europe after WW II. There are no maker's marks on it, it appealed to me because I am a potter and it was salt glazed and hand made.

Below is a link to some pictures, if anyone could help out with a date or maker, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
