Made in the Freising factory by Hauber & Reuther 1886-1905 porcelain production period. H&R lost its clay supply for stoneware in 1886 and started producing porcelain, they could use the local clay in that area. Their porcelain steins were thicker and heavier and never had lithophanes. At first, they had a lot of problems with breakage. When porcelain is fired it shrinks as much as 20-30% but because the clay throughout is the same density when it comes out of the mold, this is usually not a problem. However, if you stamp anything into the clay, the clay is compressed by the stamp and is a different density than that surrounding it and when fired will shrink at a different rate often causing the piece to pull apart. For that reason, the stamped marks had to be replaced by marks that are less intrusive. The HR logo was lightly scratched in and painted over. A lot have two HRs on the base, the second is a decorator HR mark, it was only painted on as was the Germany. Capacity marks at first were stamped and soon all were painted on. Mold numbers can be stamped, painted on or just scratched in. The "Geseztlich geschutst" marks is only stamped in or missing. All the ones I have seen on stoneware steins don't have a capital G. This one has a stamped "Geseztlich geschutst" a scratched in mold #239 and no capacity mark, it's 1/2L “Ein Trunk zur rechten Zeit, stets das Herz erfreut.” (A drink at the right time always gladdens the heart.) This stein is about 8" to the top of the pewter lid.
