Vintage German beer stein with pewter lid (c 1950s)

Offering a mid-sized embossed German beer stein that sports an embossed pewter lid. Black body with cream trim. The raised pictorial scene features two men seated at a table and a barmaid. The text translates to "Beer and Merry song never makes life mild" per Google which I assume means you never tired of beer and good old German music.  "Stamped "Western German" and on the bottom.  Measure 9.25" to the top of the lid and 5" to the end of the handle.  Purchased in Germany in the 1960s.
