~ Ein voller Becher, ein guter Trunk ~
 
A good drink is as good a medicine today as it was 100 years ago when this stein was made to hold it. This light relief stein has a mold number "995" marked on the scene.
 
Ein voller Becher, ein guter Trunk
sind Sorgenbrecher für Alt und Jung.
A full stein, and a good drink
are sorrow breakers for old and young.
 

This verse is also found on this ceramic, etched, 1L J.W. Remy stein, Mold #928, depicting a courting scene.
