Zeldzaam De Porceleyne Fles Hedenkingsbord Hongaarse Opstand 1956. Het Kwaad Overheerst Vaak.

The very rare tin glazed earthenware plate marking the raid of the Russians in Hungary after the Hungarian uprising. Decorated in shades of blue with a flowering tree surrounded with attacking serpents. (Snakes attack the tree of Life). On the rim the text:
HET KWAAD OVERHEERST VAAK – DOCH OVERWINT NIMMER & 1956. and floral swags.  (Evil often predominates – but never conquers)
De Russische Overval in Hongarije wordt prachtig vertegenwoordigd door de slangen die de levensboom bedreigen. Helaas nog steeds treffend.
