Sleeping Drinker

Catalog No. 1182

Pottery, relief, 1.0L, figural inlaid lid (Perkeo).

Text (English):
�Don�t wake me up, I dreamt this last night.�

Perkeo (lid figure) was an 18th-century dwarf who served as both court jester and keeper of the royal wine keg in Heidelberg. Despite his size, he was reportedly quite a prodigious drinker and, according to legend, his death came about when he mistakenly drank a glass of water.

This stein exists in two virtually identical versions numbered 1182 and 11182 (presumably later). Sale prices tend to be in the same general range for both.
