~ Eß', trink', sei fröhlich hier auf Erd' ~
 
This prophetic verse teaches to take joy of life here on the earth because it won't get any better here or in the hereafter. The 2-liter transfer and hand painted stein is ca. 1900.
 
Eß', trink', sei fröhlich hier auf Erd',
nur denk' nicht, daß es besser werd'.
Eat, drink, be merry here on earth,
only don't think it will get any better.
