Dish with the Kruipin Inn
This dish must have been made on commission, for the inscription mentions the Kruipin Inn near the Kamerikker Lock at Woerden and the Orangist owner and his clientele by name. Even the little dog, Mars, was not forgotten. The lock was a strategic location in the Old Dutch Waterline (flood defence line), where a fierce battle with the French was waged in 1672.
