Plaque, De Witte Ster (attributed to), c. 1715 - c. 1720
earthenware, h 2.5cm × l 58.5cm × w 47.5cm More details
This plaque probably served as the – delicate – top of a tea table. It is appropriately decorated with four scenes of groups of people drinking. Besides tea, they are consuming coffee and wine. The coat of arms, featuring a tree, might be a reference to the name of the factory owner, Francina van Eijck (whose surname means ‘oak’ in Dutch).
