DELFT BLUE AMPHORA VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS
Ancient form. Entirely contemporary intent. The DELFT BLUE AMPHORA VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS opens with a recognizable silhouette — a white matte porcelain amphora body, broad-shouldered, with two generous loop handles arching either side in the classical Greek tradition. Then it diverges completely. Seated in the neck: a glossy, deep cobalt blue lobed crown — a clustered, cloud-like form that reads simultaneously as a pumpkin, a bouquet, and a jewel — dotted with small gold metallic ball clusters that catch the light at each lobe.
The result is a conversation between antiquity and now. The white amphora base carries centuries of ceramic memory — the handle form, the footed plinth, the proportioned belly — while the cobalt crown belongs to no historical period at all. It is sculptural provocation at the neck of a classical vessel, produced with the full material authority of Royal Delft, the original manufacturer of Delft Blue ceramics operating continuously since 1653.
At 16.1 inches tall, one of this art sculptures for sale is a statement piece — for a mantle, a console, a pedestal, or a floor. It works without anything inside it. It does not require flowers to justify its presence.

I am completely obsessed with this porcelain vase! The contrast between the smooth white rounded body with looped handles and that rich, glossy cobalt blue top with gold accents is stunning. It feels super heavy, luxurious, and beautifully made. Sitting on my coffee table, it instantly draws the eye and looks like a high-end designer art piece. It brings so much character to the room—worth every single penny!

This piece literally left me speechless. A classical white amphora with looped handles topped with a cobalt blue cloud-bubble lid adorned with tiny gold flower clusters — it’s mythological and contemporary all at once. The contrast between the matte white body and that intensely glossy deep blue lid is so dramatic and luxurious. Museum-quality art for the home. Breathtaking!
