Jug (pilgrim flask) with King William III c. 1700

This 18th-century Dutch pilgrim flask, or "jug", is an example of tin-glazed earthenware, known as Delftware. The flask is decorated with a central medallion depicting King William III on horseback, surrounded by a dense pattern of white stylized flowers and foliage on a cobalt blue background. The piece, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the popularity of Delftware during the Dutch Golden Age.
