<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 223795, member: 308&quot;]The stein itself looks like a 1900 - 1920&#039;s blank.&nbsp; I&#039;m afraid we&#039;ll likely never know who made it - these were imported by the thousands.&nbsp; Once prohibition hit steins fell out of fashion. The subject matter is umm, different, but game decorations were actually common enough on pieces like Limoges around 1900 or so.&nbsp; Much later and it would have shown an art deco decoration.&nbsp; That being said, with hobbyist painting you never know for sure.&nbsp; There was an obituary in our paper just the other day about a locally renowned china painter who had just passed away.&nbsp; Apparently she taught and ran a small china painting operation here in town for several decades.&nbsp; And I think we still have a category for china painting at the county fair.&nbsp; No reason a talented china painter couldn&#039;t turn one of these out today. It&#039;s a shame the date is unreadable.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
