Lipski and Archer illustrate this plate alongside an identical example, from the same set, see Dated English Delftware (1984), p.56, figs.173 and 173A. The authors draw attention to the significance of the year 1688 in English history, the Glorious Revolution, in their catalogue, Fair as China Dishes (1977), p.47. It is likely that this plate simply marks a marriage that took place in that tumultuous year and is of personal significance, rather than politically commemorative.
