Pottery, etched and relief (tapestry), 0.5L, pewter lid.
Text:
�Willst du echte deutsche Kraft,
trinke des Gambrinus Saft,
den man Dir hier edelschenkt,
weil man an dein Lebendenkt.�
(If you want real German strength,
drink Gambrinus juice [beer],
which one pours generously for you here,
because one thinks of your life.)
Text reference is to Gambrinus, �the king of beer�, long 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.
Large white radishes are the favorite beer accompaniment in the Bavarian Alps.
Price Range: $75-$100
