This round cream-ware plate with a foliated rim decorated with a cord and orange fruit border pattern has two portraits from the side of Willem V and his Queen surrounded by a leaf scroll and a burning candle between them. Below the Queen are the letters FSW and below Willem the letters PVOR. Above the figures is the inscription: “ik brand Ligt / Voor de Pruis Zijn Nigt / En ook voor de Oranje Spruit / Die Het Niet wil Zien / die blaast Het Uit” (I burn a candle / for the the Prussian Girl / as well as the Child of the House of Orange / those who doesn’t like it must try to stop it). This is one of the oldest plates in the Van Gybland Oosterhoff Ceramic Collection dating to 1784 and it was made by a ceramic factory in England.
