Gaudeamus Igitur Skull Tankard

"This celebratory skull tankard is from Germany. It is made of porcelain and has a Latin inscription on it that reads ‘Gaudeamus Igitur’, which means let us be joyful. The tankard is used in traditional graduation ceremonies along with a drinking song encouraging drinkers from this tankard to be joyful while they are still young. The image of the skull is to remind drinkers of what we are all to become very shortly. It is a family heirloom and has been used by generations of people who have enjoyed life."
