Lot Essay

This dish is from one of several series of dishes (large dishes, saucer-dishes, plates and barber's bowls) bearing the arms of Holland, England, France, Luxembourg, and numerous Dutch and Flemish provinces and cities; at least twenty-three different arms are known and judging by the spelling of the names, were made to Dutch order.
