This charming vintage Portuguese hand-painted tulipiere vase showcases the distinctive craftsmanship of RCCL (R.C. & C.A. Lda.), a respected pottery manufacturer from the town of Juncal in the Porto de Mós region of Portugal. Known for producing decorative ceramics with traditional European character, RCCL pieces are prized for their artisanal quality and hand-painted detail.

Designed in the classic five-finger tulipiere style, this unique ceramic vase features five individual trumpet-shaped stems that fan outward from a central base. Each “finger” is intended to hold a single flower stem, allowing for elegant displays of tulips, roses, or other delicate blooms. This sculptural design makes the piece both a functional flower vessel and a striking decorative accent.

The vase is finished with hand-painted floral motifs, reflecting the rustic charm of Portuguese folk art pottery. The underside is marked “RCCL, Made in Portugal, Hand Painted, 410,” identifying the maker and mold number used by the factory.

Tulipieres—sometimes called finger vases, fan vases, bud vases, or trumpet vases—have long been admired for their decorative form and practical design. Vintage examples from Portugal remain collectible for their distinctive style and handcrafted appeal.
