Found this Item in a condemned home here in Newfoundland Canada. The home was hand built by an old German soldier and was just like something you would see straight out of old Germany. Inside was like walking into another time zone. The old couple are deceased now and a friend told me to take whatever I find..The stein dwarfs a 2L Pepsi bottle and it looks like earth or stoneware. One side of the stein means "without girls beer and wine" and the other side reads"you can not be good funny"
Can anyone help me in identifying. Thank You
That is THE biggest beer stein I've ever seen.

The stein is salt glazed stoneware.
