Double Handle Porcelain Beer Mug
Porcelain beer stein features a double handle design with a Bavaria Crest with lions in Bavarian blue. Thumb lift on one side lifts up to release the lid. Domed pewter lid and ornamental thumb lifts.

Bavarian: "Fuer alle Preissn, Zuag’roasde und solche de mid oana hand ned dringa kena." Translated: "For all Prussians, citizens not born locally, i.e. who just moved to Bavaria and all of those who with one hand cannot drink."
German: "Fuer alle Menschen noerdlich des Weisswurstaequators, Zugezogene und alle jene welche mit einer Hand nicht trinken koennen." Translated: "For all people north of the White Sausage Equator*, citizens not born locally and all of those who with one hand cannot drink."
*The White Sausage Equator is the River Main, north of which the Bavarian Sausage with sweet mustard - a national meal in Bavaria - is not very common.
This stein is a joke on non-Bavarians, who, according to Bavarians, cannot lift stein with one hand, but must use two
