Salt glaze stein L.J

I have here a salt glazed stein. It has 1/4 L.J scored into the rim. I've done a round with Google but am still clueless.

 

All I know is somebody had a bitty beer stein.

 

Aha. Thank you.

 

I don't know if this will help, but it's interesting: http://stein-collectors.org/steinmo/2001/s200107.html

 

Try googling Westerwald, and ignore the grey and blue ones.

 

Thanks guys. I will have a look.

Ps do westerwald do steins in any other colour?

 

Westerwald isn't a maker, it is the name of region with many ceramics manufacturers and studios. And yes, they make other colours too, but mostly grey and blue wares.

 

Very interesting, and it's about Westerwald. (For those who haven't looked yet.)
