German Porcelain Figural Decanters of a Skeleton and Devil. Rudolstadt: Ernst Bohne & S?hne, [ca. 1878-1920]. Two figurative porcelain bottles of a skeleton and a devil (scarce), each seated on a wine / alcohol barrel, holding papers bearing lyrics to German drinking songs, ?Trinke nie ein Glas zu wenig,? and ?Im tiefen Keller sitz ich hier.? The devil also holds a glass of wine. The skeleton and devil?s heads are on cork stoppers. A later beer stein by E. Bohne was modeled off of the original skeleton bottle. Each approximately 12h x 4w x 4d?. Dust accumulation, devil?s face is cracked but intact. Very good condition.
