~ Des Lebens Sonnenschein ~
This handsome stoneware stein with Gambrinus on the front tells us what life should be all about.
 
Des Lebens Sonnenschein
ist Trinken, Lieben, Fröhlich sein.
Life's sunshine
is drinking, loving (and) being merry.
 

The same verse and identical design is found on this light relief, blue/gray, salt-glazed stein ca. 1900.

A shorter version of this verse is also found on the etched pottery stein shown below. The stein is possibly by J. W. Remy and has an interesting lid (probably not original); the body is ca. 1900.
