Family tradition relates that the initials are those of Richard and Mary Hedges of Northampton, famous for its shoe-making industry. This has not been verified, but there was a Hedges family living in Northampton in the seventeenth century.This dish was probably made to commemorate the marriage of a shoemaker. Crispin and Crispinian are the patron saints of shoemakers, and according to English tradition, plied their trade at Faversham in Kent. The legendary marriage between Crispin and Ursula, daughter of the Emperor Maximinus was popularized during the 17th century by Thomas Deloney's 'The Pleasant and Princely History of the Gentle Craft', first published in 1597 or 1598. With the exception of the prostrate knight, the scene on the dish was derived from two woodcuts forming a double frontispiece to the 1675 edition, and possibly to the 1652 edition. An undated copy is in the Cambridge University Library.referenceterm-106453adlib-term-10645360056370-7375-3dac-996c-6cc9d5db35a917th Century, Latereferenceterm-107696adlib-term-10769673d598b5-9f18-3ba8-93d4-b1d02583d300Charles IIreferenceterm-109817adlib-term-109817ebc71b47-d90d-30dc-9cc7-b31686b68783literalEnglandEnglandcountryliteralSurreySurreyregionSouthwarkbuffreferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferenceterm-39575adlib-term-39575cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4abtin-glazeDiametercm39.2Heightcm8.3referencemedia-186941adlib-media-1869417b598577-ee4e-3e71-b3af-a1c5ddbe4606jpegaa/aa30/c_1334_1928_201011_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels100016162622522351imagejpegaa/aa30/mid_c_1334_1928_201011_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels512widthpixels50016162622522351imagejpegaa/aa30/c_1334_1928_201011_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels100016162622522351imagejpegaa/aa30/preview_c_1334_1928_201011_mfj22_mas.jpg1heightpixels256widthpixels25016162622522351image0media
