German Regimental Military Beer Stein. Lithophane can't make out the scene, any help is appreciated! Height about 10 1/2 including lid. Porcelain portion 6 3/4" high, 3 1/8" diameter top, 4 1/2 diameter base.
Weighs 2 pounds 2.5 ounces. Looks like some paint wear around base, though may be imperfect application. Pewter topside has scuffs, scratches & is darkened with age.
Pewter top underside is shiny with marks & shading. Lid seems a bit loose & wobbly, hinge is in proper alignment. Lid base is a bit out of round. The top finial is off-kilter with some bends to the base under wagon wheels.
Overall the lid & finial needs adjustment & alignment by an expert. Zoom in on photos #6 & #12. As found, I just rinsed off dust, didn't clean the pewter. I KNOW THERE ARE EXPERTS OUT THERE NOT EVEN TRYING TO TRANSLATE IT!
