"Country Eggs" and an Egg Cup
An egg cup looks somewhat forlorn among many sake (rice wine) cups in a trinket shop in Japan.
Country bumpkins (=Landeier, “country eggs” in German) in my hometown are not familiar with Western egg cups. Hence, this odd souvenir landed up on the wrong shelf in the shop, I guess.
While it gave me a good chuckle, it reminded me of the importance of understanding cultural contexts.
Are you sure that your translation is not spoiled by such deceptively similar “false friends”?
