Marriage was and is a special and joyful occasion in life and presenting gifts by relatives and other guests was part of it. Delftware objects made as a commemoration of the wedding were a suitable present. It was also possible that a married couple ordered such items themselves in Delft. Wedding anniversaries were commemorated on plates too. Interlocking hands emerging from clouds and holding a heart are a well-known decorative motif on marriage plates (Van Geenen, p. 126, nrs.11.18 and 11.20). They are symbols of divine blessings on Christian marriage. less
