~ Kämpf für Freiheit und für Recht ~

This porcelain stein with a lithophane base (scene in base viewable when held up
to the light) was owned by Joseph Grünwald who was apparently a member of a
socialist/communist society founded in 1897. The legend at the top, "1897 Zur Errinerung an die Gründug
1912", indicates
that this was the 15-year jubilee from the founding of the society, and he purchased the stein in 1912.
It might have sounded like a good idea, but I suspect that Joseph never made it past being
a farmhand.

Fight for freedom and for rights,
never more shall you be a servant.
