This is stone-work ceramic, with a card player scene on the body. The size is 7-1/8 inches tall (not including the lid) x 4" diameter at the base .

It is capped by a conical pewter lid. The German sayings in the two panels are something like "You still have time today: Eat, drink and amuse yourself" and "And be true to the old house, when you're dead, it's all done" (that translation may not be 100% accurate).

The marks on the bottom are poor, but probably indicate the 1920s to 30s. This looks to be in good overall condition with no chips or cracks.
