Blown glass with thick scrolled handle, produced in Saxony.
The stein is tapered toward the bottom with the base pulled into a pedestal. This design is consistent with the mid/late Biedermeier period c.1820-1850. Steins with this shape during that time period were commonly referred to as a wedding steins.
The stein was decorated with enamel. The central decoration depicts a man in an outdoor scene.
Large closed 5 ring hinge is consistent with the time period. The large urn thumb lift became popular c.1825 and the pewter foot ring is consistent with the pre-1835/40 dating.
The lid is personalized with what appears to be "Pa" and the initials JDZ. The lid is dated 1833.
The 3 pewter touch marks were identified with the Hintze reference "Sächsische Zinngiesser" as follows:
The two identical touch marks indicate it was produced in Dippoldiswalde, which is a town (recognized c.1218) in Saxony, Germany and is located within the Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge District. The town coat of arms consists of two crossed conifer trees and the image of a bearded hermit. The original arms, from c.1403, displayed only the trees. The hermit was added c.1588 in symbolism of the legend the town was founded by the hermit Dippoldus.
The second touch mark was identified as belonging to August Moritz Teichert who studied with his father, Johann August Teichert, from 1814-1818. August Teichert obtained his master's license in Dippoldiswalde on August 20, 1822; he died on August 21, 1848.
