Monkey Soldier 1/2 L German character beer stein antique # 769 by J. W. Remy

  
German ceramic, figural, 1/2L, figural lid. The text on the body reads: Wie die Raupe vom Schmetterling, stammt vom Affen der Kater. And translates to : As the caterpillar comes from the butterfly, from the monkey comes the tomcat.

Description & Condition: A very interesting Character stein by J. The text on the body, is a reference to the tomcat, a German symbol and idiomatic expression for a hangover, and the monkey, symbolic of drunkenness. Thus the metamorphosis from monkey to tomcat, or rather, from a state of inebriation to that of a hangover...

Great conversation piece that displays incredibly well. As far as condition, the stein is overall in excellent condition, only minor issues of note: A tiny tear and bump in the pewter lid ring(as shown in the pictures), a very thin fleck on the bottom of the base and typical crazing. Height: 8.5 To top of Monkey's head. Width: 3.75 At widest part of stein body.
