This is one of a series of humorous flasks that were created in Germany in the 1920’s for schnaps - which here, was poured out a
spout hidden in the leaves of the tree. Characteristic of these flasks is the finely modeled details of the man’s face. The flask is a
little over 5 “ tall and hand painted. Other some paint rubbed off the man’s nose, the piece is in excellent condition. The stopper to
close it at the top is missing. The theme of this one is a man with a pink pig under his arm – paused at an outhouse (Abort in
German). The small sign on the door indicates that the user must deposit 10 pf. The man is obviously in a hurry and is searching
for 10 pfennigs in his pocket, which he does not seem to be finding. The phrase on the front of the flask – So’ne Gemeinheit –
means – What a rotten trick! .
