This dish was catalogued by Rackham (1935), as English, but late 20th century opinion veered towards a Frisan attribution. The image appears to be based on a print of an equestrian portrait of William III by T. van Merlen of which there is an example in the British Museum, Department of Prints and Drawings (1848.9.11.353)
Decoration composed of high-temperature colours ( blue, copper-green, yellow, and manganese-purple)
