The Amsterdam dish is part of a collection of territorial armorial dishes and barber's bowls that feature coats of arms from various Dutch, English, Flemish and French provinces and cities. These dishes, likely privately commissioned, were decorated with specific heraldic symbols. The dishes are circular, with a central coat of arms, often surmounted by a crown or bonnet, and a scroll beneath the shield displaying the territory's name. The Amsterdam dish is one of many in this set, representing the historical regions of the Low Countries.
