Print under glaze decoration depicting a group of gentlemen playing a card game. The text translation is "Long Live Skat!"
From Wikipedia: Skat is a three-player trick-taking card game of the ace–ten family of games, and was originally devised around 1810 in Altenburg in the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. A 32 card deck consisting of seven through Ace in all four suits is used. If there is a fourth player, the players take turns sitting out hands to be the dealer. It is the national game of Germany and, along with Doppelkopf, is the most popular card game in Germany and Silesia and one of the most popular in the rest of Poland. A variant of 19th-century Skat was once popular in the US. The German Skat Association assesses that it is played by around 25 million Germans – more than play football.
The design on the lid depicts 10 dealt cards and 2 discarded (skat) cards.
The "LBCM" mark on the shank indicates the lid was manufactured and applied by L. Bauernfreund & Cie Munchen (in business c.1883-1911).
