Grundlage für die Darstellung ist das The body cast and chased showing the Wedding at Cana illustrating John 2:1-11 that states that while Jesus was attending a wedding in Cana with his disciples the party ran out of wine. Jesus' mother (unnamed in John's Gospel) told Jesus, "They have no wine," and Jesus replied, "O Woman, what have I to do with you? My hour has not yet come." His mother then said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you" (John 2:3-5). Jesus ordered the servants to fill containers with water and to draw out some and take it to the chief steward waiter. After tasting it, and not knowing where it came from, the steward congratulated the bridegroom on departing from the custom of serving the best wine first by serving it last (John 2:6-10). John adds that: "Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee and it revealed his glory and his disciples believed in him (John 2:11)". This tankard is the one example among the known tankards by Schwestermüller. Comparison can be made between this tankard and two tankards illustrated by Seling and one similar tankard in the Schroder Collection. das Jesus tat, geschehen zu Kana in Galiläa, und offenbarte seine Herrlichkeit.
