~ Glück auf ~ | |
Glück auf! literally means "luck up" or "good luck coming back up" which all miners look forward to. Note the miner king with his orb as a bomb and lighting stick, the hard working miner and the gnomes working in the mine. This could be considered a miner's occupational. It is a Mettlach PUG (printed under glaze) stein mold number 1909 and decor number 980 made in 1896. | |
Glück auf! Verkündet es mit lautem Schal! Glück auf ihr Knappen all. |
Good luck! Proclaim it with a loud bomb! Good luck to all you miners. |
