Found this at a second hand store, so I know very little about this stein.
It has a capital "T" impressed on the side of the bottom (outside).
If anyone can share any information (Age, Manufacturer, etc...)
Could it be considered a military stein based on the lithophane ?
Zum Hochzeitsfeste.
Short for something like a toast at a wedding: Alles Gute zum Hochzeitsfeste, wir wünschen euch beiden nur das Beste !
Vetraio50, I didn't know you are so well versed in German! Great!
Thank you vetraio50, I tried using an online translator, but I had trouble determining some of the letters. (I thought the last "S" was an "F").

My grandmother only used the old German letters. It is easy for me to read the printed texts but I always was, and still am, very challenged to read the handwriting.
Nice stein! I have never seen one with a lithophane.
Thank you Freiheit, I will use for my next "Show and Tell" post.
Late 19th century (based on pewter lid, gilding).
