Catalog No. 828
Pottery, figural, 0.5L .
Found in both early and modern (circa 1960) versions with the same model number.
Text:
“Wird der Aff im Bierfass gross,
ist auch gleich der Teufel los.”
(If the monkey gets big in the beer barrel,
all hell is about to break loose.)
Recessed base only:
“Trag deinen Affen mit Geduld,
an dem bist du nur selber Schuld.”
(Bear your monkey with patience,
it is your own fault.)
As the text on this stein implies, monkeys (Affen), in Germany and elsewhere, are symbolic of drunkenness (monkey on one’s back).
