~ Wer nicht liebt das edles Bier ~
 
This reminds me of my childhood because one of my German grandmother's favorite sayings was "Let's have another Schluck (sip, gulp, mouthful)" of you know what. Whoever didn't go along with that would obviously wind up as a poor wretch. The stein with the twisted vine handle is marked only 768 on the bottom. The relief stein below is s marked with the Reinhold Merkelbach logo and "190 T" ca. 1900.
 
Wer nicht liebt das edles Bier,
bleibt ein armer Schlucker hier.
Whoever doesn't like the noble beer
will remain a poor wretch here.
