A white tulip vase on an elevated foot. This snow-white tulip vase is one of our most iconic tulip vases. The tulip vase stands on a sturdy, single foot and has a round body. Around it are scattered smaller spouts that stick up slightly, while in the center a larger spout protrudes above it. This opening is suitable for slightly more or heavier flowers, while the smaller spouts all around are suitable for lighter flowers.
The tulip vase originated after Queen Mary the second commissioned Delft's earthenware potters to make a vase with which she could fill her quarters with fresh flowers. The tulip vase then became wildly popular and also played an important role in the tulip mania in the Netherlands, when some tulip varieties cost more money than a canal house in Amsterdam.
Such expensive flowers could not, of course, be put in an ordinary vase. The various spouts of the tulip vase give the delicate flower stems firm support so that the flowers are not damaged and remain beautiful longer. Something we still benefit from today.
