Beer Stein

Description

Ceramic beer stein depicting a courting couple at a well. An inscription that frames the image reads: "Jetzt gang i an's Brünnele trink aber net / Do such i'mein herztausige Schatz find'n aber net" (Now I go to the well, but I do not drink, for there I seek my beloved but do not find her). The text is from "Die Drei Röselein" (The Three Little Roses), written by Friedrich Silcher in 1826. The lid is pewter and has the initials "G.B.", as well as some indiscernible script engraved.
