DELFT BLUE GLOBE VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS
There are vases that hold flowers. And then there are objects that hold attention. The DELFT BLUE GLOBE VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS is unambiguously the latter. A full, high-gloss white spherical porcelain body — generous, grounded, and perfectly round — rises to a narrow neck banded with a cobalt blue Delft scroll-and-floral collar. From that collar ascends the piece’s defining element: a tall, elongated flame-shaped finial, its entire surface dense with hand-applied Delft Blue botanical motifs — roses in full bloom, trailing sprays, scrolling stems — tapering to a sharp point that pushes the total height past twenty inches.
One of this art sculptures for sale functions as a closed decorative vessel: the finial seals the form, and the form is complete in itself. No flowers required, no styling necessary. At 20.1 inches, it commands vertical space the way a sculpture does — on a floor, a pedestal, a large console — while the contrast between the plain white globe and the intricately decorated flame creates a visual tension that rewards sustained looking. The more time spent with the surface of the finial, the more the pattern reveals itself.
Produced by Royal Delft, the original manufacturer of Delft Blue ceramics since 1653, with Moooi’s characteristic refusal to let tradition dictate form. This is heritage applied to a silhouette that has no precedent.

I am absolutely in love with this porcelain vessel! The combination of the sleek white body with the vibrant blue-and-white floral flame lid is so dramatic and artistic. It feels substantial, premium, and crafted with incredible attention to detail. Placed on my entryway table, it looks like a high-end museum piece that instantly elevates the whole room. Every guest asks about it—a total showstopper!

This piece made me gasp out loud when it arrived. The glossy white round body contrasting with that narrow Delft blue floral band at the collar, topped with an elongated leaf-shaped hand-painted lid, is so exquisitely proportioned. It looks like a precious artifact from a Dutch museum. Displayed in my living room, it elevates the entire space effortlessly. Flawless!

I was not prepared for how stunning this is in person! The round white porcelain body is so sleek and clean, and that tall flame-shaped lid covered in the most gorgeous blue floral detailing is breathtaking. It looks like a collector’s museum piece sitting on my console. The craftsmanship is genuinely exceptional. This is the kind of decor that makes a room feel elevated and curated!
