Vintage Gerold Porzellan Lithophane Puzzle Mugs Gold Trim Elk West Germany EUC

Description: Welcome to VARRU, a store for Vintage Antique, Rare, Reimagined, or Unique goods. Thank you for your interest in this item. I created VARRU in an attempt to promote the reuse of home goods, jewelry, accessories, vintage clothing, and bring attention to artists, especially those who recreate, reuse, reimagine, or reinvent. I do not feel Vintage goods should sit in an antique store or thift shop, unsold, because they are over-priced. After researching each item, I try to price my items as cost effectively and fairly as possible. THIS ITEM Vintage Gerold Porzellan Trick/puzzle steins Featuring transfer elk designs On white porcelain mugs with Painted gold accents. This traditional trick or "puzzle" stein has a porcelain body in which numerous holes pass through the top half of the stein body and the along the lip rim and handle. There is only one special way in which to drink from this stein without spilling. First, hold the tankard with the left hand, then plug the hole that is underneath the handle with one finger. There is another hole inside the mug at the very base of the handle. The handle is actually hollow and functions as a straw. The liquid passes through the handle and to the first hole on the lip rim. Therefore, to perform the joke, the drinker needs to actually draw the drink through the hole. Made in West Germany. Excellent vintage condition Minor age related wear seen mostly in the gold leafing No defect, damage, or repairs Used for display only Smoke free home NOTE: THERE IS A SECOND STEIN/MUG/TANKARD AVAILABLE BIDDING: Items may be offered in an auction format with the opportunity to make an offer for quicker sales.
