This nice stein is circa 1900. Hermersdorfer and Zwickau presumably indicate the maker of the pewter. Bernhard Holzher would have been the original owner, although the lid motif is distinctly feminine. I don't recognize the manufacturer's mark, which simply means that it was made by one of the many less well known porcelain factories. Assuming no damage to the body or the lid, value is probably $125-$150, plus or minus.
