~ Da Spiess is' zum Stech'n ~ | |
This unmarked PUG (printed under glaze) stein shows a rogue or rascal doing his thing in the night and is prepared for all obstacles, ca. 1900. | |
Da Spieß is' zum Stech'n und da Mant'l für'n Reg'n und's Licht daß mid Spitzbuab'n von weit'n scho' leg'n. |
The spear is for stabbing and the coat for the rain and the light with the rogue for that which already lies ahead. |
