Catalog No. 1354
Pottery, threaded relief, 2.0L, pewter lid.
Text:
Affen und Kater machen viel Hader.�
(Monkeys and tomcats create much discord.)
�Trink was klar ist, lieb was rar ist.�
(Drink what is clear, love what is rare.)
�Ein guter Trunk macht Alte jung.�
(A good drink makes old people young.)
To appreciate the meaning of the first text string, it must be understood that the tomcat (Kater) is both a German symbol and idiomatic expression for a hangover, and that monkeys (Affen), in Germany and elsewhere, are symbolic of drunkenness (monkey on one�s back).
Price Range: $250-$350
