| This cute porcelain stein (ca. 1890) with lithophane and intricate design in the lid expresses in Bavarian dialect how many young lovers feel when courting. The translation to high German is also shown. | ||

I' hab'n so gern Den Schlanker’l den Diab u. was er nur mog Thua i. ihn gern z' Liab |
Ich habe ihn so gern den Schelm, den Dieb und was er nur so möchte mache ich ihm gerne zu Liebe. |
I love him so much, the rascal the pilferer, and whatever he wants I will do for him, out of love. |
