Drinking Scenes

Catalog No. 409

Pottery, relief, 2.7L, inlaid lid.
Design attributed to Ludwig Foltz II.

Text:
“Wer niemals einen Rausch gehabt
der ist kein braver Mann für wahr.”

(He who has never been drunk
is not a good man for sure.)
“Kein Feuer keine Kohle kann brennen so heiß
als heimliche Lieb, von der Niemand nichts weiß.”

(No fire no coal can burn so hot
as secret love, which no one understands.)
“Freut euch des Lebens weil noch das Lämpchen glüht.”
(Enjoy life while the lamp still glows.)
“Wenn mein Pfeifchen dampft und glüht
und der Rauch von Blättern zieht.”

(When my little pipe steams and glows
and the smoke from leaves draws.)

Found with brown, terracotta, pink or grey background color. An early and somewhat differently configured unpainted parian version with a pewter lid is also known to exist.
