This exquisite Delft Blauw tulipière is a captivating piece that carries forward centuries of Dutch artistry and floral tradition.

With three individual openings, this hand-painted vase is designed to elegantly support single-stemmed flowers, displaying each bloom with grace—a style born from the 17th-century European fascination with tulips.
