Germany Beer stein with lid Years go by the thirst remains constant

Nice Germany beer stein, Three people at a pub table and someone making a toast. Translation to english means: Cheers , Years go by The thirst remains constant, Cheers Pass the years. Perfect condition. The number 1994 in pressed into the bottom of the stein also. Not sure this is the year or just an id number. Excellent condition with no damages. Measures 9" tall to the tip top of the pewter lid. Nice heavy German pottery.
