~ Trink nach alter deutscher Weise ~ | |
This is a quaint relief stein with a quaint verse that anyone ca. 1900 (or now) could relate to. | |
Trink nach alter deutscher Weise. In der Freunde frohem Kreise, lange diesen Krug noch leer. |
Drink according to the old German ways. In the circle of good friends, empty this stein for yet a long time. |
The same verse is shown on the Reinhold Merkelbach #1160 stein without lid below: | ||
