~ Gibs Gott anheim ~ | |
The verse seems to be Biblical, meaning to seek God's guidance and then carry out your tasks. The crest would appear to be for a musical society, but could also be a family arms. The color of the glass body of the stein is called "cranberry" and made with colloidal gold and the mounts are silver and marked "13" (16 lot = pure silver) meaning 13/16 = 800 or 80% silver (not plated silver), ca. mid 1800's. | |
