This is a quite unusual stein in it's use of symbolism which is hardly ever used for a kegeling stein. The decoration is a transfer on a porcelain, half liter, stein. Like most porcelain steins the maker is unknown. It shows from the top a young lady wearing a wreath around her head, a symbol of victory, especially athletic victory, since ancient Greece. The laurel wreath was originally a symbol of Apollo and was awarded to winners of the Olympic games and poetic competitions. She is holding in each hand a kegel (pin), they are over sized and have a flowing ribbon attached. She stands atop a winged kugel (ball).This image is quite reminiscent of Schützenliesl (The Target Girl). To wrap it up there's a depiction of Glücksschwein standing atop a kugel at the bottom. Like most porcelain steins, the maker is unknown. The maker would be the same as this stein: [link]
