Glass pitcher with Lion on lid. Beer, interesting

[collector rich]

Hello,

I thought I would put up this Pitcher. I think it is interesting. Found at estate sale.
I am assuming it is WW1 era unless someone says otherwise. Also civilian.

Thanks for looking

Nice looking glass pitcher. It's in great shape and the lettering/painting looks perfect.

It was probably made prior to WWI. And used during WWI, but by the looks of it, used very lightly!

"Die alten Deutschen tranken immer noch eins"

Is there anything on the otherside? I would expect more to the message. But a colloquial translation would be;

"The old Germans would always drink one more."

Hope this photo applies right side up.

Not sure if it is that old actually. Both the glass and 'label' do not have a period look but look much more modern - kitsch - at least to my eyes. Also the saying would make perfect sense on an object of a later date but made in 'historic' style.
