Pilsner Glass with a Shot Putter
No full textBlown 1/4 liter Pilsner Glass with a shield and a shot putter. Two F's on the shield are overlaid with an "S" and a "T."1/2 literFrei-Heil.Free-HealthSymbol of F,F,S, and T stands for "Frish, Frei, Stark, und Treu" ("fresh, free, strong, and true"). This shift indicates the Turners’ criticism of religion in the 1850s, because they altered the original four ‘fs’ (‘fresh, devout, happy, free’) to ‘fresh, free, strong, true.' Three decades later, this latter motto became the motto of the German Workers Turner Union.
