~ Auf's trink'n kriagt ma' Schneid ~
The Bayrisch (Bavarian dialect) verse is self explanatory on this Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein made by J P Thewalt and decorated by Theodor Schmidt, ca early 1900's.
Auf's trink'n kriagt ma' Schneid und a' Kraft auf's guate ess'n und an Humor kriagt a' dazua kannst d' Sorgen leicht vergess'n.	Upon drinking one creates energy and a power for good eating and with humor one can also acquire the ability to easily forget sorrow.
