Erik Bendtsen’s Marbleized Lion Tulip Vases
At once regal and refined, Erik Bendtsen’s Marbleized Lion Tulip Vases represent the very best of Scandinavian craftsmanship.
Hand-thrown in Copenhagen by the Danish master potter, each urn-shaped vessel is a celebration of form, tradition, and artistry.
A Vase with Two Lives
The vases are crowned with a removable lid, punctuated by small openings designed for tulips and other soft-stemmed flowers. This ingenious detail allows for precise floral arrangements with an architectural quality. Remove the lid, and the vase transforms into a generous vessel for larger, more abundant bouquets.
A Signature Form
Sculptural in silhouette, each piece is adorned with a pair of classic lion heads—an enduring motif that lends both gravitas and timeless elegance. Available in two sizes and a variety of marbleized glazes, no two vases are ever the same. The swirling surfaces, hand-finished by Bendtsen himself, ensure that each work is truly one of a kind.
Four Decades of Mastery
For over forty years, Erik Bendtsen has devoted his practice to the art of ceramics. Working from his Copenhagen studio, he continues to shape clay with a rare balance of restraint and flourish—bringing forward designs that feel both historic and undeniably contemporary.
