~ Schöne Zeit bringt Rosen ~
 
Good times bring good things and bad times test strength and integrity and human nature is to meet the bad times with honorable and praiseworthy deeds. This is a salt-glazed, stoneware stein of the Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) period ca. early 1900's marked only 374/1318.
 
Schöne Zeit bringt Rosen,
böse Zeit viel Ehr.
Beautiful times bring roses,
bad times much honor.
