~ 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:
