The markings on the base confirm this is a highly collectible, authentic antique Hauber & ReutherGerman beer stein.
Here is the exact breakdown of the stamped markings on your piece:

Maker's Mark & Production Details
* HR Logo: The stylized interlocking letters "HR" at the top is the official maker's mark for Hauber & Reuther, a prominent pottery studio located in Freising, Bavaria.
* Mold Number (420): The number 420 represents the specific design or mold style for this particular tavern scene.
* GERMANY: This stamp indicates the piece was made for export. Because it includes "Germany" rather than "West Germany" or "Made in Germany," it securely dates the production window to between 1891 and 1914 (following the U.S. McKinley Tariff Act of 1890, but before World War I).

This item is an antique Hauber & Reuther (HR) German Beer Stein depicting a humorous, traditional scene based on a famous German drinking song. [1, 2]

Design & Story Details
* The Scene: The central image depicts a classic tavern scene featuring drunken students being guided or confronted by a town night watchman carrying a halberd (pole weapon) accompanied by his dog.
* The Inscription: The banner across the top reads "Grad' aus dem Wirthshaus..." (Straight out of the tavern...). This references the iconic 19th-century German convivial song "Grad' aus dem Wirthshaus komm ich heraus", which humorously describes a person stumbling out of a pub into the street, confused why everything—including the streetlights and the moon—seems crooked or tipsy. [1, 2, 3, 4]
* The Base: The bottom band features decorative reliefs of stylized faces representing the winds or celestial entities, typical of historic Hauber & Reuther styling. [1]
