#OnThisDay in 1898, Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria was inaugurated Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands—beginning a reign that ultimately lasted almost 58 years, longer than any other Dutch monarch. This majolica plate by Dutch ceramicist Theo Colenbrander celebrates Wilhelmina’s silver jubilee in 1923. The stylized natural elements alternate with letters that form the word “Oranje,” for the House of Orange dynasty, which is also symbolized by decorations in the center of the platter.
