~ Das wärmste Jäckle ist das Conjäckle ~

This is a play on words that works better in German than it does in English
because it rhymes in the former. The word "Conjäck" without the
diminutive "le" ending is probably a Southern German dialect word and has
exactly the same sound as "cognac" in English. Cognac is a brandy distilled
from wine from the province of Cognac in France. This could be called
a "Schnapps" (brandy) set made of porcelain by Schäfer & Vater ca. 1900.
