Pottery, relief, 0.5L, pewter lid, signed �KB� (Anton Killian �Karl� Beuler).

Text:
�Gambrinus war ein weiser K�nig,
er sagte: Trinket nicht zu wenig.�

(Gambrinus was a wise king,
he said: Don�t drink too little.)

Gambrinus, �the king of beer�, has long been a universal symbol of beer and brewing. It has been suggested that the character may be drawn from the claimed real-life inventor of hopped malt beer, Jan Primus (Johann I), a 13th-century Belgian Duke and President of the Brussels Guild of Brewers.
