Alwe - Beer mug (4) - Glazed and vitrified ceramic

Interesting collection (4 pieces) of goblets, some of which have historical significance and are emblematic of German customs.

1) Ivory-white enameled beer mug with an iconic monochrome print in Siena brown, featuring an image of the transport of beer kegs by a horse-drawn cart from Henninger Brewery, a historic German beer brand originating from Frankfurt (since the mid-1600s).
The mug was manufactured by the FACS factory in San Marino, a company specializing in customized ceramics and in components for dispensing. (stamp applied before firing).
Height measurement 13.2, Weight 600 g.

2) Classic multicolored decorative mug from Martigny, Switzerland, featuring relief depictions of iconic Swiss imagery (a chalet, mountains, the Alpine horn, the Swiss flag)
Height: 12.0 Weight: 250 g.

3/4) Detail of a pair of beer mugs from around the 1960s of the 20th century.

These mugs are part of the tradition of antique German mugs from the 19th/20th century.
These inscriptions are meant to ridicule specific military and social vices:
Drunkenness of officers - Excessive behavior in taverns - Conflicts between military rank and civilian status.

The first one has an inscription that reads:
Officer
He enjoyed beer early in the day.
But once he has his intoxication, he storms toward
The landlady went off and behaved in a crude, coarse manner.

OFFICIAL
who enjoyed beer first thing in the morning,
But drunk, he lost her, so he charged.
against the innkeeper, behaving villainously.

The second one has an inscription that reads:
Lecturer, he was impotent from the outset, since there was nothing anyway.
To achieve it, he puts something into the Achilos.
as a nice bookmark.

PROFESSOR,
naturally powerless - since he couldn't accomplish anything anyway,
to deposit something in the Achilli family.
like a delicious bookmark.

They have a centuries-long history; I invite you to search the web to discover many more historical and folklore details.
The tankards have an engraved mark under W. Germany and nothing else.
From our research, they appear to be produced by Gerz (Gebrüder Rezinch – Fratelli Rezinch), a historic German ceramic mug producer located in West Germany (post-1945), specializing in satirical and comic mugs.
