Cats in relief, monkey finial, bear handle. The cats and monkey I get, but what's the symbolism (if any) of the bear? Salt glazed. See also [link]
“’S ist besser mit Affen, mit Kater und Bären,
als allzeit mit Ochsen und Eseln verkehren.”
(It is better with monkeys, tomcats and bears,
than to operate all the time with oxen and donkeys.)
Translated without the animal symbolism, the message of the saying is that: “It is better to be a drinker and contend with the hangovers than to work hard all the time.” *TBSL)
