Commemorative jar with cover

Dutch, Delft

Not on view

This covered jar was presumably made to commemorate the accession of William IV of Orange to the Stadhoudership in May, 1747. His wife, whom he married in 1734, was Anna (1702–1759), Princess Royal, daughter of George II of England. A Delftware tea caddy in the Museum's collection (1977.22.2) commemorates the same event.
