~ Sichere Hand, die Augen offen ~
 
The verse on this blue/gray, salt-glazed, stoneware pokal marked with the Simon Peter Gerz logo and form number 569 is obviously written for a marksman ca. 1900.
 
Sichere Hand, die Augen offen,
gut gezielt, ist halb getroffen.
A steady hand, open eyes,
a good aim are half the battle.
