A stoneware stein by Reinhold Merkelbach, depicting several dwarfs doing different chores.
The verses on the stein read:
"Musik und Bier - Macht mir Pläsier"
"Malz und Hopfen - Macht Viele besopfen"
"Freund ich rathe dir - Trink stets gutes Bier"
"Iß gesalz´ne Wurst - Das gibt imer Durst"
The stein holds 1 liter and is marked 327 on the base.
This mold number (327) was also used on a smaller version of this decor.
