FANTASTIC SIGNED VILLEROY & BOCH METTLACH BEER STEIN - ROYAL KING DRINKING BEER - CIRCA 1899
Measures approximately 8 ½” high (to the top of the thumb tab) by 4 1/8” in diameter at the base.
Excellent original condition – no chips, cracks or repairs. The thumb grip is slightly bent – see photos.
The German inscription (it seems to be a dialect from Luxembourg) on one side reads:
But who does not love a good glass of beer
He is even more stupid than me
Other side:
Who does not love wine, women, singing
He remains a fool his whole life
