~ Schmollis dir o Gerstensaft ~
The person holding the stein on the scene on the front of this stein appears to be proposing a toast in fondness to beer. The transfer and painted stein is mold number 780 probably by Reinhold Hanke, ca. 1900.
Schmollis dir o Gerstensaft	A toast to you oh barley juice (beer)
