This porcelain stein was made around the end of the 19th century.
It is made of porcelain, and has a porcelain inlaid lid.
The front panel features a portrait, surrounded by the phrase "Als Demuth weint und Hochmuth lacht, da ward der Schweizerbund gemacht". This phrase is the title of a painting by famous Swiss artist HIERONYMUS HESS (1799 - 1850) [Link]
The sides of the stein show the coats of arms of the various so-called cantons, the Swiss provinces.
The porcelain inlaid lid again shows 22 coats of arms, circled around the Swiss national flag (red with a white cross).
Capacity: circa 1/2 liter (not marked)
Mold number 728 impressed into the base.
