Heraldry is the study of coats of arms, which deals with the use of coats of arms, among other things. The coats of arms can be family coats of arms, but also the coats of arms of villages, towns, cantons or countries. There are also coats of arms plates that depict the coat of arms of a specific institution, such as an association or a student fraternity.\r\n\r\nThe coats of arms plates themselves can be made of different <strong>materials<\/strong>, such as pewter, wood, porcelain or ceramic.\r\n\r\nPlates with coats of arms can be used as <strong>decorative objects<\/strong> , for example on the wall as wall plates or for <strong>use as dinner plates<\/strong>. However, the latter is not advisable if the plate has a uranium glaze. Coat of arms plates are also collected and are then primarily used as collector's items - also known as collection plates.\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative\">\r\n<div id=\"History_of_the_coat_of_arms_plate\" style=\"position:absolute;top:-5em\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>History of the coat of arms plate<\/h2>\r\n<strong>The first armorial plates appeared in Switzerland in the 17th century<\/strong>, in the form of relief plates made of pewter. Entire services were made from porcelain, known as heraldic porcelain, for kings or wealthy families, for example. Some of these armorial porcelains were made in China, but according to the specifications - drawings or samples - of the European patrons. This is also referred to as Chinese commissioned porcelain.\r\n\r\nIn the late Romantic period (around 1820 to 1850), heraldic art became fashionable. The production of heraldic plates with symbols of the Swiss Confederation, such as the Swiss coat of arms and\/or the cantonal coats of arms, received a boost on the occasion of the \u201c600th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation\u201d in 1891.[1] Such coat-of-arms plates made of ceramic were increasingly produced in Switzerland in the end of the 19th century in the Thun region, by workshops that also produced the so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertzueblin.com\/en\/thun-majolica-thoune-swiss-ceramics-pottery-thun\/\">\u2018Thun majolica\u2019<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative\">\r\n<div id=\"Sources\" style=\"position:absolute;top:-5em\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\r\n[1] Buchs, Hermann: Vom Heimberger Geschirr zur Thuner Majolika, Thun 1988, p. 73.\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative\">\r\n<div id=\"Buy_a_coat_of_arms_plate\" style=\"position:absolute;top:-5em\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Buy a coat of arms plate<\/h2>\r\nBelow you will find coats of arms plates for sale, provided they are still available.
