We just found these four beer steins in a box in our home that the previous owners left. No country stamp. I cant read the word clearly to google it. 2 have the word and a 14 one has a 6 and the other has a 11.
One with 11 on the bottom has a picture of a city with the word hidelberg
The one with the 6 hasa city and the words garmisch-partenkichen and under that has floriansplatz
One with 14 has a guys with his hands stretched out in the center and a building on each side with the word müchen
The last one with a 14 on the bottom has 3 buildings the one in the center looks like a castle ot cathedral with the word köln
Any help would be appreciated
The word is handgemait, handmade in english. The steins show four German cities, Heidelberg, Garmisch-Partenkirchen (a resort town in Bavaria), Munich (Munchen) and Cologne (Köln).
As you can imagine, there are many companies who make theses commemorative beer steins, drinking beer is a national pastime in Germany. I would recommend you do a google image search using words like stein, handmade, beer etc until you find an example that has been already identified.
Good luck with your research.

This one looks the same as your Munich stein, it is made by Gerz.
