Kwispedoor met het portret stadhouder Willem IV 1747

This 1747 Delftware pot, created by an anonymous artist, is decorated with the coat of arms of Stadholder Willem IV of the Netherlands, a powerful figure during the Dutch Golden Age. The pot, now in the Rijksmuseum, displays the Stadholder's initials, "W.C.H." and a motto surrounding his coat of arms. It's a beautiful example of the intricate, decorative work of Dutch potters of the period, using a blue and white palette. These Delftware pieces were often used for household purposes and represent the high quality of Dutch craftsmanship during this era.
