Here are some gems of wisdom on this porcelain stein with a colored
lithophane base, ca. 1900. A lithophane is a scene made by varying the
thickness of the porcelain that can be seen when held up to light.
The coloring of lithophanes is similar to tinting of old photographic prints.

Mag manche Wahrheit hinken.
die da hat Recht und Fug.
Zuviel kann man wohl trinken
doch trinkt man nie genug

Many truths might be imperfect
that are fully correct.
One can drink a lot,
but one can never drink enough.
