Garmisch (in the west) and Partenkirchen (in the east) were separate German towns for many centuries, and still maintain quite separate identities. Partenkirchen originated as the Roman town of Partanum on the trade route from Venice to Augsburg and is first mentioned in the year A.D. 15. Its main street, Ludwigsstrasse, follows the original Roman road.

The dish is an example of the early 20th-century international souvenir trade, in which German porcelain manufacturers produced inexpensive objects depicting Australian towns and tourist destinations. Such objects were intended to be purchased as tangible reminders of travel or locality. Its use as an ashtray also reflects the domestic and social culture of the period, when smoking accessories were commonplace household objects. The dish depicts Victoria Street, Nhill, a significant regional street in the Wimmera township of Nhill, Victoria. The survival of the street name and pictorial representation makes this more than a generic souvenir: it is a small piece of Nhill local-history material culture.Small octagonal/scalloped porcelain dish with a white ground, broad mustard-yellow decorative band and fine black outlining. The recessed central panel contains a sepia transfer-printed view of a country street, with buildings, trees, fencing and roadway.

The Bocksbeutel ("goat's bag") bottle has been used since 1726 to store Franconian wines from south-east Germany. The Franken wine-growing region is in the north-west of Germany’s historic state of Bavaria. More than 40% of all Franken wines are bottled in the Bocksbeutel, which is often described as flagon-like in appearance. It is said that the bottle is so shaped to prevent it rolling away from its owner. Only Franken and nearby villages in northern Badenare allowed to use the Bocksbeutal, with selected areas in Portugal, Italyand Greece permitted to employ their own variations.
