May’s Winner
June 10, 2008 Uncategorized
The winner of May’s delftware special object of the month competition is this cool “merryman” plate from Althorpe Grove (AG75).
The plate dates to the late 17th Century and forms the second in a series of six plates. Each plate bears a line from a verse, one for each dinner guest. This plate’s line says
“let him eat all what he kan”
