A little Irish luck to start your St. Patrick's Day off right. 🍀

This octagonal, tin-glazed earthenware plate was made by the World's End Pottery in Dublin, Ireland around 1760. It descended in the Galt family of Williamsburg and Norfolk and is currently on view in our Rich and Varied Culture exhibition in the Campbell Gallery.
