Soup bowl?

[Srdj]

I was given this bowl. I was told it was "dug up" somewhere in the Grafenwoehr area.



Here is a close up of the back:



Comments appreciated.

Very nice plate from the German Labour Force(D.A.F/ Deutsche Arbeitsfront)

[KradSpam]

Should it say 'Germany' in English?

[CARL]

Indeed, as Vegar has stated, it is a D.A.F. bowl. Nice condition too.

Why is "Germany" written in English? I would have expected "Deutchsland" great looking plate though.

[CARL]

Rosenthal, German for "Rose Valley", is a German founded company that started way back in the 19th Century. A brief search of their markings will show that the word "GERMANY" is common. So it is correct. Why however, is another matter...
