A plate faience blue and vinous decoration with coat of arms traditionally attributed to D. Manrique da Silva (c. 1595-1648), 6th Count of Portalegre and 1st Marquis of Gouveia Portuguese 17th C.

Lisbon: Lisbon City Council, 1936, nº 85, p. 23. In our opinion, the attribution of the order to D. Manrique da Silva is unfounded due to the fact that he was awarded the title of Marquis of Gouveia in 1625, and the present dish, produced in the 2nd half of the 17th centujry, features a count coronet and was produced after the death of that personality.
