The white painted letters give cheery exhortations appropriate for a drinking party. One reads REPLE (fill it up again!), another MISCE (mix another drink!), and the third AVETE (cheers!). Beakers such as these were made principally at Trier; examples have been found at sites throughout the middle and lower Rhineland and also in Britain.
