One of my Christmas gifts this year was this bottle of MARLENE beer, which my daughter tells me is made in Berlin and named after Marlene Dietrich, the famed actress of the 1940's. (Come to think of it, I was named after her as well!)
The label says: Original Berlin White Snow Owl...
I'm not sure how Marlene Dietrich relates to snow owls... (Was she known for wearing white fur coats?!)
But I found the owl to be an interesting coincidence, given that I've been making a lot of pottery owls recently...
... though mine look more like horned owls than snow owls - according to this book of North American birds.
Maybe I should try to make a snow owl next!
