~ Nur ja kein Wasser nicht ~ | |
Here is a whimsical frog doing all the bad things, but jokingly staying away from water because it bothers his stomach. He's probably telling the server to hold the water. The incised stein with wrinkled lid is marked with the logo of "Merkelbach & Wick" and numbering "1 171", ca. 1900. | |
Nur ja kein Wasser nicht nein, nein, das mag ich nicht. Mein schwacher Magen kann nicht vertragen |
Certainly not any water no, no, that I don't like. My weak stomach cannot tolerate it. |
