DELFT WHITE GOLD ORB VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS
Where sculptural confidence meets a precious finish, the DELFT WHITE GOLD ORB VASE BY MARCEL WANDERS delivers a contemporary statement rooted in nearly four centuries of Dutch craft. Tall, considered in form, and finished with polished gold spheres that catch the light from every angle, this is a vase that earns its place on any surface as an object in its own right.
Bold Form, Handcrafted in Delft
The orb vase sculpture takes the classic bottle-neck silhouette and amplifies it with conviction. A generous bulbous body rises into a long, elegant neck with a gently flared rim, seated on a wide flared base for stability. What elevates this from a conventional vase into a sculptural object are the five polished gold orbs positioned at intervals along the body and foot — each a hand-applied ceramic sphere glazed in a high-gloss gold finish. They protrude with quiet drama, transforming the surface of the piece into something closer to jewellery than pottery.
Crafted at Royal Delft’s workshop in the Netherlands — the original producer of Delft Blue ceramics since 1653 — this piece belongs to a range that pairs the pottery’s four-hundred-year heritage with a contemporary vocabulary of form. The white porcelain body carries a smooth, satin glaze that sets off the warm metallic lustre of the orbs without competing with them.

How to Style This Piece
The tall profile — at 15.7 inches, this vase commands attention — makes it a natural centrepiece on a console table, sideboard, or mantelpiece wherever vertical scale is needed. The white and gold palette is intentionally neutral: it holds its own in an all-white scheme, warms against deep navy or forest green walls, and sits naturally alongside warm metals such as brass or copper. The five gold orbs give the piece a quiet opulence that reads differently depending on the light — muted and architectural in daylight, glowing and warm under evening lamps.
The neck opening accepts a single long stem or a small, tightly arranged bunch. One of this art sculptures for sale piece is as effective with fresh flowers as it is displayed empty — arguably more so.

This vase is an absolute showstopper! The smooth white ceramic silhouette paired with those polished gold orb details gives off major high-end gallery vibes. It brings so much character and modern flair to my dining table, even without any flowers in it. The quality and craftsmanship are top-tier, feeling wonderfully substantial. It was worth every penny, and I’m already getting endless compliments from everyone who stops by!

I’ve been hunting for a truly sculptural vase and THIS is it. The elongated silhouette with those gold globe embellishments dotted asymmetrically up the neck is so dramatically beautiful. It looks like something from a contemporary art museum. I styled it with white orchid stems and it’s literally a masterpiece on my console table. Worth every single penny and then some!
