This stein is for a Merchant's Association in Nuremberg with headquarters in Bayreuth and called "the Mercury Association". Kaufmann literally means "one who buys", but is a commonly used term for a merchant. The Roman god Mercury is representative of business. The unmarked stein is ca. early 1900's.
