Bottle with the coat of arms of prince Maurits after 1618

This stoneware bottle, made after 1618, features the coat of arms of Prince Maurits, the renowned Dutch military leader. The bottle is decorated with a blue and white glaze and a prominent embossed medallion with the prince’s coat of arms. It is a fine example of the decorative stoneware produced in the Netherlands during the 17th century, and is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the period. The bottle, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a tangible link to the history of the Dutch Republic and its powerful rulers.
