~ Das gescheidte Schnauzerl ~
 
The clever Schnauzer breed of dog is the theme on this stein made by Reinhold Hanke, marked only with a mold number "787", ca. 1900. The Schnauzer is thought to get its name from either the German words Schnauz (meaning "nose" for good sense of smell) or Schnauzbart (meaning "mustache" for the appearance of a mustache like growth of hair on its face).
