Porcelain; figural; 2.0L, 1.0L, 0.5L or 0.25L; marked “Jos. M. Mayer/Bayer Str. 3/München”; lithophane (Hofbräuhaus).
The half-liter size has been seen with a Bavaria statue lithophane, rather than the “standard” Hofbräuhaus.
Created as the coat-of-arms or archival seal of Munich in 1239, the Münchner Kindl (Munich Child) has evolved from a hooded monk standing in front of Munich’s gate to a charming child, depicted here holding a bunch of white radishes, a traditional Bavarian beer accompaniment.
