The phrase “In Freud und Leid, trink allezeit” on the antique German beer stein translates to “in joy and sorrow, always drink” in English. This suggests the stein was designed with a sentiment of enjoying life and facing all its ups and downs with a drink in hand.
The beer stein has a traditional German design, made of stoneware with a pewter lid. These steins are collectible items and can have significant historical and cultural value.
Provenance: This beer stein belonged to a distant ancestor of my family, my great-great-grandfather’s brother, and is most likely an antique piece.
