It isn't quite as old as the tag claims but it is about 225 years old give or take a couple of years. What you have here is a Faience walzenkrug meaning the walls of the stein are straight up and down as opposed to being tapered or bulbous. It was manufactured in Erfurt c.1750-1790. It appears to be a very nice example.
