Hello to all. I'm hoping for some insight into another stein I just bought. The overall height is 8", with a standard steeple style lid. The lid has a very nice patina. The entire stein looks very old with some grazing, very minor around the top of the body. The base is flat, not recessed. The size is marked "0.5L" and is underlined. It is ceramic or clay type material in relief. The color of the body is beige as is the image. The flat surface of the framed image is green. There is one continuous image from one side of the handle to the other. A girl is seated at a well with a water vessel, she is watching a man and woman dancing, and another vessel on the ground behind them. Also, past them is a minstrel playing the violin while seated on a stool another vessel at the foot of his stool. The statment under the well is "Freut eudj Des Lebens weil nodj das Lampdjen gluht" There are initials below the handle G. K. The image is in great detail and deep, or raised. there is no mark on the bottom of any kind. I have other steins that are like this one marked Dumbler and Breiden. Hope you can help with those initials. Thanks Dana
