~ Du bist wie eine Blume ~ | |
This relief figural or character stein in the shape of a castle ties a romantic verse into the romantic nature of the Rhein River. A similar theme can be found in another translation: "die Braut von Rheinstein". The stein, ca. 1900, is marked only "Germany". The stein has a twisted vine handle characteristic of J.W. Remy steins, but is not found in any J.W.Remy catalogs. | |
Du bist wie eine Blume! Rheinische Burgen, Rheinischer Wein, Rheinische Liebe frisch und rein! |
You are like a (sweet) blossom! Rhein castles, Rhein wine, Rhein love (so) fresh and pure! |
