A very rare commemorative plate with portraits of King William and Queen Mary, the work of the London potters, probably from the Vauxhall area. The plate is decorated in shades of blue and orange with naively rendered portraits of the crowned King and Queen. King William is wearing Coronation robes, and it is almost certain that this piece was produced to commemorate the event.
