Early Freising factory, pre-Hauber & Reuther stein, designed by Maximilian Borho. Made by Schön & Hauber or the Albert Hauber Co between Sept 1,1876 and 1882. Problems of some kind developed at the Freising factory toward the end of the Schön & Hauber period. Whatever was going on at the factory, caused the product design and over all workmanship to deteriorate. The décor was often incomplete, and or sloppy, as was the marking of the steins. Capacity marks were askew, incomplete and often missing entirely. Quality control marks were seldom applied. Model numbers were missing or incorrect. This probably triggered the sale of the factory by Adam Schön to Albert Hauber on August 6, 1878. This stein has 4 or 5mm mold number 144, quality control mark on the base, and a 0,4L capacity mark. It's about 5-1/4" to the top of the stein and 7-1/2" to the pewter finial. “Froh beim Bier, das lieben wir" (Happiness with beer, that's what we love.)The BSL only shows a 1/2L size.
