~ Trunkener Mund spricht aus Herzen's Grund ~ | |
The verse is self explanatory on this blue/gray, salt-glazed, stoneware stein, ca. 1900. The salt-glazed, stoneware inlay on this type of stein is fairly uncommon, but did cut the cost since pewter was more expensive than clay at the time. | |
Trunkener Mund spricht aus Herzen's Grund. |
A drunken mouth speaks from the heart (in truth). |
The porcelain stein marked with the logo of Hauber & Reuther (on the lid) and mold number 155 on the base, ca. 1900, has the same verse. | |
