Sorry, no information but it looks of the period to me.

Are there any markings on the bottom? This is not something I know anything about but sometimes it provides some clues
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

It's an interesting item. It certainly looks like a 'Westerwald' salt-glazed wine carafe, as indicated by the grape design which is quite common in Germany. These items often have no identification marks on the base.
I'm afraid that I can't help with the inscription & date (beyond the obvious...) ; maybe someone else can identify the architecture ?
-
Sorry for the delay in getting back. It has a small circle on the base but nothing distinguishable can
be seen. Thank you
-
Thank you for your help. I am still trying to find out more history, but so far you're absolutely right about the glaze, the make and it having no distinguishable marks on the base. Perhaps I can let you know when I find out more on it's history and the architecture?

Martyboy; Something is missing here. “Verband” has several connotations having to do with binding, joining, or fastening together, while the phrase, “Verbandstag am Deutschen” is incomplete and as such has no meaning, leaving us with the question, am deutschen what? “Deutchen” as used here is an adjective that is a noun modifier and as such should be spelled with a lower case “d.” the adverb “am” implies that the missing noun is either masculine or neuter. All of these errors lead me to believe that the piece might not have been made in Germany. A couple of extra photos of the entire phrase might help, but we are still left with the missing noun.

Martyboy; is the entire phrase, "Verbanstag am Deutschen Eck"? If so we still have a problem. I have never seen Eck as a stand alone word, but I have seen it as a family name. For example, Heinz Wilhelm Eck who was the only U-boat captain executed for a war crime after WW2. I did find a brief reference in a 1906 edition of Heath's German and English Dictionary that said Eck is a noun Meaning edge, corner, or angle, but I did not find a similar reference in my other dictionaries.

Hi Dwight,
The lettering on the front reads as: '49 Verbandstag am Deutschen' and then the 3
symbols/letters in my last picture. I have look at some of the old type Germanic fonts and believe the 3 letters are E c P.
