Hand-painted in the classic cobalt blue on crisp white ceramic, this multi-tiered “tulip vase” features five graduated levels with individual spouts designed specifically for displaying tulips or other stemmed flowers in breathtaking, cascading arrangements – a tradition dating back to the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age.

- Rich underglaze blue decoration: pagodas, flowering branches, birds, and delicate landscapes inspired by Chinese porcelain yet executed in unmistakable Delft style
- Traditional hand-painted windmill and Dutch canal house motifs on the base
- Excellent vintage condition – no chips, cracks, or repairs; minor expected crazing only adds authentic antique character
- Impressed and painted marks on the underside consistent with mid-20th century European reproductions of classic 17th–18th century Delftware
Size: 18.5" Tall 9"" width
