DELFT BLUE TRIPLE TULIP VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS
Shaped by nearly four centuries of Dutch artisanship, the DELFT BLUE TRIPLE TULIP VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS is a sculptural statement from Royal Delft — the original maker of authentic Delft Blue ceramics since 1653. This is a piece that carries history in every hand-painted stroke, produced in the Netherlands by the only pottery still operating under the original Delft name.
A Heritage Piece, Handcrafted in Delft
This triple-neck design is one of Royal Delft’s most distinctive forms. Three tapered spouts rise above a wide oval body, each spout rimmed with hand-painted scrollwork and diamond-dot borders — the hallmarks of genuine Delft Blue pottery. The large oval panel at the centre is filled with a signature art sculptures for sale cobalt blue floral composition: bold blooms, layered petals, and flowing botanical motifs hand-applied against a clean white glaze.
Every line is painted by hand. Royal Delft’s artisans continue to use the same underglaze cobalt blue pigment and high-temperature kiln techniques as the very first pieces produced in 1653, achieving the luminous, deep blue tone that no industrial method has ever matched. Each finished piece carries the authentic Delft mark on the base — a guarantee of origin from the only remaining original Delft pottery in the Netherlands.

How to Style This Piece
The triple tulip vase sculpture works equally well as a purely decorative centrepiece and as a working vase. The three openings are sized for fresh or dried flower stems, making the piece a natural choice for seasonal tulip arrangements — a nod to the Dutch tradition that first made these vases famous in the seventeenth century. When displayed empty, the bold oval silhouette and dense cobalt blue floral panel carry the piece entirely on their own.
The cobalt blue palette pairs particularly well with aged brass, natural linen, and pale oak furniture. In a contemporary interior, the graphic contrast of white porcelain against hand-painted Delft Blue motifs reads as modern and arresting. In a more traditional or eclectic setting, the historic form grounds the room in something genuinely old and genuinely made.

It’s a true work of art that gets endless compliments whenever I host!

I have never seen anything like this oval pedestal piece in my life. The vivid cobalt blue hand-painted peony motif covering the entire body is breathtaking, and those three white trumpet openings on top make it so functional as a flower vase too. It’s a Dutch Golden Age masterpiece reimagined in a completely fresh, sculptural form. Absolute heirloom quality!
