7. Mug Dachshund
Dachshunds are popular this spring! In seventh place is a Delft blue mug with a handle, featuring a dachshund that runs all the way around the mug. The dachshund, with its stubby legs and pointed snout, is often the target of jokes. People often call it a “walking hot dog” or “sausage dog,” but the proud dachshund simply lets the teasing slide right off its lo-o-ong back. This determined four-legged friend keeps its eyes fixed on its goal, and once you’ve earned its trust, it will stand faithfully by your side for life.

8. Tulip vase cylinder | Orchidee
This tulip vase is one of our most iconic tulip vases and is decorated all around with elegant Delft blue orchid flowers. The tulip vase has the shape of a cylinder, and the characteristic spouts are all placed on top of the vase, pointing straight upward.
The tulip vase originated after Queen Mary II commissioned pottery makers in Delft to create a vase that would allow her to fill her rooms with fresh flowers. The tulip vase soon became extremely popular and also played an important role during the tulip mania in the Netherlands, when some tulip varieties cost more than a canal house in Amsterdam. Of course, such expensive flowers were not placed in an ordinary vase.
The different spouts of the tulip vase provide sturdy support for the delicate flower stems, preventing the flowers from being damaged and helping them stay beautiful for longer—something we still benefit from today.

9. Vase Milk Churn Forest Birds
They are happily chirping again now that spring is approaching, so it’s no wonder that this fantastic milk churn vase with woodland birds is also in the top 10!
This large vase is shaped like an iconic old milk churn. In the first half of the 20th century, it was a typical symbol of the Dutch farming identity. The idyllic sight of weathered steel milk churns standing by the entrance of a farmyard quickly disappeared after 1962, when the refrigerated milk tank began to take over. Only in one small village in the Netherlands were the original milk churns still used until 1999, when that dairy factory also stopped accepting milk delivered in churns.
The vase shaped like a milk churn is decorated all around with Delft blue flowers, another recognizable Dutch icon. Colorful woodland birds are hidden among the blossoming branches. It is a special vase that brings together a lot of Dutch history—and one that lets you place a large, colorful bouquet of flowers on the table!

The bowl is suitable for use as a soup bowl or a yogurt bowl, or for serving other foods. It has a bright white background, making the colorful wildflowers seem to leap off the surface. With a little imagination, you can almost hear the busy bees buzzing among the flowers.
Because every flower is different and has its own beauty, it creates a lively bouquet that is not controlled by human hands. No restrictions or imposed boundaries—just a wild and carefree whole. A true showcase of nature’s beauty in its purest form.
