this is a stoneware stein with an interesting combination of images...the body features a last supper scene, while the pewter lid is set with a risque porcelain plaque (the German caption roughly translates to "The cook herself will become the meal"). no marks or signatures, except for "1/2L" capacity designation scratched into the side of the stein before firing. i am guessing this is maybe saxony circa 1830. but i don't know much about steins, so can anybody confirm or deny this? thanks! paul http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa245/misterbug2/stein1.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa245/misterbug2/stein2.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa245/misterbug2/stein3.jpg
