anonymous, c. 1780 - c. 1795

Patriots as well as supporters of the House of Orange displayed their political preferences at home. For instance, this plate and teapot feature the portraits of the stadtholder and his wife. This type of relatively affordable mass-produced pottery became a propaganda tool in the struggle against the Patriots. Notably, there is a prominent presence of Wilhelmina of Prussia on ceramics and glass.<br>
