Three Tipsy men staggering home after a night of drinking. The 1L stein body is 6-3/4" and it's 8-1/2" to the top of the thumb lift, but it has no marks at all. I think it was made by Reinhold Hanke because of the decorative bands and the handle.
August 1st and 2nd 1921 the firm of August Hanke was virtually destroyed by fire, all the molds were destroyed. Its operations from that point were a mere hint of what they had been. August Hanke (Reinhold's son) unsuccessfully attempted to rebuild his business, but he still produced some ceramics at a reduced level. August Hanke died 1938 and all production stopped. So most Hanke steins were made 1868-1921.
