Blown glass. Thick scrolled handle. Visible, unground pontil mark.
Enamel painted designs with a heart and cross as the central decoration.
The lid is personalized "HM".
The body shape, large closed 5 ring hinge, thumb lift, lid, and pewter foot ring are consistent with the early 1800's (1st quarter) time period.
An identical stein is listed on page 86 of The Beer Stein Book 3rd Edition, by Gary Kirsner.
