Delftware objects depicting Dutch Monarchs, Royal Coats of Arms and symbols of the Royal House such as the orange tree are known as Orangist Delft. The tradition to adorn the house with symbols of the Kingdom reached its height during the third quarter of the 18th century when Prince William V was preparing to ascent the crown. This Orangist dish depicts the double portraits of Prince William V and Wilhelmina of Prussia who married in 1767.
