~ A Viertel macht glustig ~ | |
I'm not sure that the conversation becomes sensible after a liter of beer, but maybe if everyone else has also had a liter of beer. This etched, Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein was designed by Fritz Quidenus and marked with the Mettlach logo, form number 3219 and dated 1908. | |
A Viertel macht glustig - A Halbe macht lustig - A Liter macht schneid - und nacher red' st' gescheidt! |
A quarter (liter) makes desire (for more) - A half (liter) makes one jovial - A liter makes one energetic - and afterwards conversation is sensible! |
