DELFT WHITE PERFORATED VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS

No cobalt. No floral motifs. No period reference. Just a wide, disc-shaped DELFT WHITE PERFORATED VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS hovering above a glossy black turned pedestal — and a row of circular perforations across the upper shoulder that reframe the entire purpose of a vase. Each hole is a stem opening: one of this art sculptures for sale is an ikebana-influenced multi-stem arranger as much as it is a sculptural object, allowing flowers, dried botanicals, or bare branches to be composed individually rather than grouped in a single opening.

The contrast tells the whole story. Matte-gloss white porcelain body against a high-gloss black base. A silhouette that reads as mid-century modern but is produced by Royal Delft — the original manufacturer of Delft Blue ceramics, operating without interruption since 1653. This model carries that heritage in its material and craft precision, while the form itself owes nothing to tradition. It is, within the Delft Blue Vases collection, the deliberate outlier — and all the more compelling for it.

Use it as a structured floral arranger, a dried stem display, or a standalone sculptural accent. It works without anything in it at all.
