![]() This version is more complete than the Mettlach version (Catalog number 2133, shown to the left), since it has a verse of what the gnome is thinking to himself: “Von dem Stoff möcht ich mich zu todt trinken” This translates as: "From this stuff (meaning beer) I would like to drink myself to death" Obviously the gnome didn’t mean it, since he seems to be alive and well. I assume the design was sanctioned by H. Schlitt, since this stein was made during his lifetime. |
