Mettlach 2942 .5L Stein "Saying" Villeroy & Boch Germany Antique Early 1900's
In excellent overall condition. There is a hairline surface crack on the inside from top to bottom near the lid mount point. I'm not sure if anything was done to seal the crack. This crack does not go from inside to outside so its a surface crack. The stein still holds liquid and does not leak. There are marks on the inside bottom and inside of the lid. There are a few dust sized area's where the pain has flaked off, as well as some very small area's of lightening on the outside. The lid mount is fairly solid as well as the hinge. See pics for more details.

The hexagram decoration, often mistaken to be the Jewish Star of David, is actually a German brewing symbol seen frequently on beer steins produced through the early 20th century. The “§11” in its center makes reference to the Bier-Comment (beer code) of Heidelberg University, which begins with paragraph 11. Paragraphs 1 through 10 are left blank and are generally presumed to be the Biblical ten commandments. Paragraph 11 of the Heidelberg code reads:“Es wird fortgesoffen”, which is often (if loosely) translated as “Keep on drinking”
