Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. It attracts plenty of admirers but I know nothing about it.
The base (last image) has what appears to be "A" with a "G" underneath, and then "W W" below that. Thanks.

I have a partial translation of the German. I was only able to get some of it. Maybe someone else can help? I'm sure this isn't correct but maybe I got the gist of it?

At the well before the gates a lime tree tree I slept there (??) sweet dream

I am betting it is "By the well, before the gate, Stands a linden tree; I used to dream in its shadows. So many sweet dreams."

Thanks for the reply fancyapizza and your expertise Chris.  I figured it was German - but funny enough there is a place in Fredricksburg Texas that sells steins similar to this - and it originally was a German settlement and fancy themselves in being the Germantown of Texas.  They bring in alots of items from Germany to say the least.
