This 17 cm tall bell-shaped tulip vase is part of the Cabinet des Fleurs collection by Heinen Delfts Blauw. Crafted from high-quality ceramic, the vase combines a square base with a gracefully rounded top, crowned with three spouts that allow each flower to stand beautifully on its own. The contemporary silhouette forms a striking contrast with the refined Delft blue illustration of an elegant birdcage, featuring a single exotic bird perched quietly inside.
Cabinet des Fleurs draws inspiration from the art and curiosity cabinets of the 17th century, where remarkable objects were carefully collected to inspire admiration and wonder. The collection brings this historic tradition of collecting back to life through home accessories that unite lavish floral artistry, refined ornaments, exotic curiosities and iconic Delft blue motifs. Like the treasured showpieces of the Dutch Golden Age, each object tells its own story while forming part of a greater whole.
During the Dutch Golden Age, exotic birds were treasured showpieces in the grand canal houses of wealthy collectors. Their colourful plumage and distant origins made them symbols of curiosity, prosperity and a fascination with the wider world. The birdcage illustration pays homage to this remarkable history, while the flowers rising from the three spouts bring the composition to life. The result is a contemporary interpretation of a historic collector's piece, where design, craftsmanship and heritage come together in perfect harmony.
Display the tulip vase as a refined standalone piece or fill the three spouts with a small selection of flowers to create an airy and elegant arrangement. Pair it with the other vases, wall plates and candlesticks from the Cabinet des Fleurs collection and build your own personal cabinet of curiosities, one piece at a time, creating an interior filled with character, history and stories.
