King Gambrinus - King of Beer Masskrug |19035| Collection Jorge Soriano

From the collection of Jorge O. Soriano

King Gambrinus - King of Beer

This is perhaps the most common portrayal of King Gambrinus, his robe about his shoulders, crown atop his head, stein hoisted in salute, and sitting astride a barrel of his favorite liquid!

Nice pewter lid with porcelain inlay. Words?? Notice the thumblift style.

I cannot make out the first letter of both words???

Closed hinge.

The Legend of Gambrinus. See link in description section.

Super clean and in fine condition inside & out!

Closed five (5) ring hinge.

All the potter’s turn lines clearly visible- lovely!

I’m trying to figure out what the two words are on the inlay, if anyone knows, I’d appreciate the translation and the spelling. I cannot make out the first letter of either word?? I struggle with the font style used in the 19th century, early 20th century.

Can anyone inform me what the two words are on the inlay, both spelling and meaning?? I’m unable to make out first letter of both words. I did some guessing, but I don’t think I for it.

The words on the ceramic inlay are: "Zur Erinnerung" (In remembrance).

Ah, thank you Paul. Old German style letters can be challenging for me. Ha ha. Thanks again!
