THE FARMERS ARMS MOTO GRANDFATHER CUP -
This oversize earthenware Cup is called a GRANDFATHER CUP and features a black transferware of The Farmers Arms Motto along with hand colored highlights in yellow, pink and green. It has a floral decoration on the inside of the rim. It features drawings of the various tools used by early farmers and a central drawing of a shock of grain surrounded by the words IN GOD IS OUR TRUST THE FARMERS ARMS. The Motto reads: "Let the wealthy and great, roll in splendor and state, I envy them not I declare it; I eat my own lamb, my chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece & I wear it; I have lawns, I have Bow’rs, I have fruits, I have flow’rs, The lark is my morning alarmer; so jolly boys now, here’s God speed the plough, long life & succefs to the farmer". The cup is about 3-3/4 inches tall and 4-3/4 inches in diameter with no chips, cracks or glaze crazing (there is one minute nick on the outside of the rim). The bottom maker’s mark reads WARRANTED STAFFORDSHIRE ADAMS ENGLAND.
