~ Trink Menschenkind fein mit bedacht ~
 
Another subtle rationale for drinking beer on this relief stein, ca. 1900.
 
Trink Menschenkind fein mit Bedacht,
was fröhlich dich und selig macht.
Humankind, drink well with consideration
that which makes you happy and blissful.
 
 
This salt-glazed, stoneware stein without lid shown below has the same verse. It is marked with the S. P. Gerz logo and form number 614, ca. 1900.
