~ Akohol und Nikotin, sagt man ~
This is a cute little stein with a whimsical verse signed by Anton Lang, ca. early 1900's. Info on Lang can be found on Chris Wheeler's "Stein Marks" website.
 
Akohol und Nikotin, sagt man,
macht den Menschen hin,
aber ohne Trunk und Rauch,
ist erwiesen sticht man auch.
Alcohol and nicotine, it is said,
makes one a mess,
but without drinking and smoking,
it is proven also to give one pain.
