Small white porcelain bowl, approx. 2 3/4" x 4 1/2" dia., bearing on the rim the transfer-printed overglaze insignia of the Third Reich-era "Deutsches Rote Kreuz" ("German Red Cross"). The base bears the underglaze maker's mark of the Hutschenreuther porcelain firm of Selb, with their "Lion" insignia and the location "Bavaria Germany". It also shows an underglaze "Deutsche Arbeitsfront" ("German Labor Front") insignia with the legend "Modell Des Amtes Schonheit Der Arbeit" ("Model of the Office - Beauty of Labor"), a propaganda arm within the DAF which promoted workplace safety and comfort. Shows slight wear to the DRK insignia, else very good to fine.
