~ Oft dreht si das Dirndl ~
A nice Joseph Rieber & Co., print under glaze German stein with an ornate pewter engraved lid. The scene in front features a Bavarian couple dancing with the text in Bayern (Bavarian dialect), ca. first half of 1900's.
 
Oft dreht si das Dirndl,
oft dreht si der Bua,
oft oft fasst er ums miederl,
und jauchzet dazu.
Often the girl turns,
often the boy turns,
Often he grabs her bodice,
with a joyful cheer
