Catalog No. 1366
Pottery, threaded relief, 0.5L, pewter lid.
Text:
��11: Es wird weiter gesoffen.�
(�11: The drinking will continue.)
The ��11� in the text makes reference to the Bier-Comment (beer code) of Heidelberg University, which begins with paragraph 11. Paragraphs 1 through 10 are left blank and are generally presumed to be the Biblical ten commandments. Paragraph 11 of the Heidelberg code reads; �Es wird fortgesoffen,� which is often (if loosely) translated as �Keep on drinking.� The message on this stein, though phrased somewhat differently, could easily be translated in the same manner.
Price Range: $90-$125
