FAQs

A tulipiere or tulip vase is a specialised ceramic vessel featuring multiple individual spouts or openings designed to display single cut flower stems, historically popular during the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe and Asia.

These vessels were typically crafted from fine hard-paste porcelain, painted with polychrome overglaze enamels such as famille verte or famille rose palettes, and finished with a protective clear glaze.

Authentic historical pieces often display hand-thrown irregularities, visible evidence of hand-painted enamel brushwork, unglazed foot rims revealing fine white porcelain clay, and period-appropriate reign marks.

Position the vase as a statement piece on a sideboard, dining table, or mantelpiece, either filled with delicate seasonal stems or displayed empty to highlight its sculptural form and enamel decoration.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and wash carefully by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent when necessary, avoiding abrasive pads or chemical solvents that could damage overglaze enamels.
