Dish 1707 - 1717

This Delftware dish, made by the De Metaale Pot factory in the Netherlands between 1707 and 1717, features a central design of a crowned double-headed eagle. The eagle is flanked by four circular medallions with Latin inscriptions, including "Constantia et Fortitudine" (Constancy and Strength). The dish, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is decorated in blue and white, a style characteristic of Delftware, and displays intricate floral patterns that add to its visual appeal.
