~ Hilf du heiliger Florian ~ | |
St. Florian is the patron saint of firemen, but here he's being called to help quench the second version of a fire, i.e., a dry throat. This is a 1 L. version of the Mettlach stein with mold number 1786 designed by Otto Hupp and made about 1900. This stein is usually seen with a ceramic "dragon head" thumblift. | |
Hilf du heiliger Florian. Wir fangen's zweite Löschen an. |
Help, St. Florian. We are commencing the second quenching. |
