We’ve paired the base with a lampshade decked out in Liberty of London ’s limited edition fabric designed by Catherine Rowe. Her design draws inspiration from the Liberty emporium’s adventurous beginnings and quintessentially British heritage. She imagines the view from the high windowsill of an English palace on a hazy summer’s day, with ceramic animal figures and a sketched garden layout of richly-coloured fruits and foliage.

De Porceleyne Fles started making White Delft in the 1930’s. Because of the economic depression and the outbreak of the Second World War, the market for hand painted Delftware all but disappeared. The Delft White models were seen as more utilitarian, but still had a unique artistry to them. Instead of the feature being the hand-painting, it became the shape of the vase itself. At the end of the sixties the total collection, consisted of more than 174 different creatively shaped models. In 1976 production was stopped. Today, only the tulip vases are made in Delfts Wit .
