Lot Essay

By repute this plate was ordered by the town of Harderwijk when the old city hall was restyled in 1727.
See M. van Aken-Fehmers, Delfts Aardewerk, Volume II, Zwolle, 2001, pp. 331-335 for a discussion of AR marked objects, Adriaen van Rijsselbergh could possibly have led a small workshop and see D.F.
