You may have a German beer tankard, but if that is what this is, it is missing the lid:

Thank you both for helping me. I was lost on how to figure it out. What should I ask for it?

The auction estimate for the one with the lid was $50 - $200 with a starting bid of $50. Although it might have a missing top, I believe your image on it is more desireable than the generic design on the similar one. You could give it a shot on Ebay with the same $50 starting bid, list it with other tankards and see what happens, or you might want to contact some tankard and stein collectors to see what they have to say.

Thank you very much. You know anyone who collects these who would be interested? Would the piece be still considered Bohemian ?

I think you're going to need to ask that on a tankard collectors forum. They would probably be able to answer that. I wish I could be of more help!
