~ Das schönste Wappen in der Welt ~
 
This is a porcelain, occupational stein for a farmer with a self explanatory verse, ca. 1900.
Note: an escutcheon is a shield or emblem bearing a coat of arms.
 
Das schönste Wappen in der Welt
das ist der Pflug im Ackerfeld.
The most beautiful escutcheon in the world
is the plow in the farmer's field.
