zeeesdreams	posted on April 16, 2001 01:49:36 PM new I just purchased a beautiful figural German pitcher and it has writing in German on it--could someone decipher it for me? It reads: REINER WEIN UND GUTES BIER SIND DES MIRTES FEHONFTE ZIER. I recognize the words beer and wine--but do not understand the rest. Thanks alot for your help.
