| The two steins below are strikingly similar in design, but from two different manufacturers. Both show two embracing Renaissance lovers in the center panel, while the side panels feature a German Landsknecht (German mercenary knight) and a Renaissance style lady. The first is a relief stein by Matthias Girmscheid, mold# X33, marked "Germany" ca. 1900. | |

Immer wirb
das Glück ist mürb. Bier, Lieb und Wein lindern Sorg und Pein. |
Always strive
luck is brittle. Beer, love and wine alleviate sorrow and pain. |
