~ Der dient mit Kunst und Wort ~ | |
This porcelain stein with lithophane base (scene viewable when held up to light) has a verse that makes it an obvious farmer's occupational, but does not have the owner's name or usual salutations that go with an occupational stein, ca. 1900. | |
Der dient mit Kunst und Wort, und jener mit den Waffen, doch muss der Bauerstand uns allen Brod verschaffen. |
He serves with skill and his pledge, and sometimes with weapons, yet must the farmer profession, provide us all with bread (food). |
