Elegant and steeped in history, this large Delft earthenware dish captures the spirit of a resurgent Europe, where football once again became a universal language.

At its center, the crest of the Dutch football federation, crowned and surrounded by heraldic lions, is set within a typical Delft floral decoration, hand-painted in deep blue.

The reverse bears an original handwritten inscription as well as a workshop signature, attesting to a commemorative production.

Small detail: the presence of its old hanging system makes it a piece designed from the outset to be displayed, like a wall trophy.
