Thank you for all the replies. There are no marks on the bottom of the stein at all. I suppose the crest could be a maker's mark, but seems a bit grand to me for this? Will check out steinmarks.co.uk.  :)

Yes I agree about one silver key and one gold and the handles down"teeth " up for the Papacy etc.
Perhaps because St. Peter cut off the Centurion`s ear his symbol is a key with a sword but do you know  I have never seen that.It makes sense though.
Thanks . Viktoria.

I think, like Skoosh,that it is probably the ceramic makers mark, The stein  is glass and the pewter lid with it's ceramic insert could be an added item, not connected to the maker of the glass.
Some ceramic/porcelain manufacturers marks are fairly elaborate.
I wish you luck finding the correct one, here are a few examples;

It's probably a personalised stein. What it was was detailing the 20th (Wurttemberg) Hussar Regiment of the German/Prussian Army, it says K, Wilh, probably King Wilhelm I of Prussia and Kaiser of Germany, 1 Esk ie 1st Squadron. Date is 1883.

Coat of Arms is not Wurttemberg. Bit more digging to do. Might even find an image of the uniform.

No, it's not Hussars, but Uhlans ie Lancers, goodness knows how. On the stein it looks like maroons!!! So, in 1883 20th (2nd Wurttemberg) Uhlans.

Uniform would have been very similar to this one, I believe:

Sorry, Viktoria, but Regensburg is nowhere near Württemberg (which nobody here seems able to spell).  It's in the Bezirk [county, more or less] of Oberpfalz and firmly in the middle of Bavaria, though admittedly it was formerly an imperial free city.
