The origin of this is a puzzlement. It's crockery, about 6" tall, and has the marking "14L" by the handle. The words are an old toast, and the I have dated it back to 1872, but it is likely older. It is a wonderful sentiment: "Happy are we met, happy have we been, happy may we part and happy meet again".
