Tulip Vase

Inspired by China’s blue and white Ming porcelain, delftware was born in Holland in the 1600s. We’ve teamed up with Royal Delft — the last remaining manufacturer of authentic Delfware — to bring you a magnificent curation of home decor.

The icon of Delft earthenware is still the “vase with sprouts”. The vase was meant to be filled with a variety of flowers, not just tulips as the popular name “tulip vase”does suspect. Since 1685 this bowl shaped model with a loose lid has been produced in Delft. The flowers that filled the vases in this period are sought after collectors’ items, just as the blue and white earthenware itself. Now available by applying a singular white glaze gives it a modern twist.
