Message:: [QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 445453, member: 8569"]In Switzerland, we say "Schatz" to a women, or "Schatzli" as more intimate, it's not used as a masculine definition in this case and stay in the home use, personally I've learn german swiss near fifty years ago, it's possible that now young girls say that to a man, in the 18-19th century you never found a woman called his lover with this word and more written on a glass.To make the difference, Schatz is a family name in France, in Switzerland not common but used.I've made a search more elaborated on enameled glasses mottos, it seems that they are for two different sociological categories which not appear clearly in the late expo about that(the book from the Musée de l'Ariana is just superb…), one was purely for social use and you offer a glass to your friend who is butcher, and when it's a bad butcher people like on tiles write that clearly, the second one was for loving memorabilia and was not intended to be see by other persons.As i have some items about that, a post for the loving proofs can be an idea because here we are a little out of the base subject of the post.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie26" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
