Pottery or stoneware, threaded relief, 0.5L, pewter lid.

Text:
�Der Kater laut Erfahrung stirbt am sauren Harung.�
(The tomcat, according to experience, dies from sour herring.)

To appreciate the meaning of the text, it must be understood that the tomcat (Kater) is both a German symbol and idiomatic expression for a hangover; pickled herring an alleged cure.
