Height: 11cm Diameter (mouth): 6.4cm Diameter (base): 9cm The base says "Blois." Blois is a historic city associated with Joan of Arc and Catherine de Medici. The base also has the year "1970" and appears to be hand-painted, including a crown and a salamander. By the way, this is the emblem of Francis I (1494-1547). The text on the ribbon below seems to mean something like "nourishment" or "digestion." Maybe it's a joke like, "Drink beer for hydration!" (｀・∀・´) ...but after persistent research, it seems to be related to the words of Francis I!! ▼From the blog "From the Land of Escargots" The salamander was believed in ancient Europe to be a creature that could live in fire. Because its body temperature was so cold, it repelled fire and extinguished it. The motto of Francis I, who used the salamander as his emblem, is: Nutrisco et extinguo in Latin. In French, it becomes: Je nourris (le bon feu) et j'éteins le mauvais. I nourish (the good fire) and extinguish the bad. ー　ー　ー　ー　ー　ー　ー
