That William and Mary were eternalized in tin-glazed earthenware is highly appropriate. Mary was particularly fond of this material, and De Grieksche A was her favourite supplier. Even so, these busts were not made on royal commission, but served as decorative objects in the house of a loyal Orangist family.
