This tulip vase, model Amelie, takes the form of a tiered tulip pyramid (tulipiere) after 19th-century Qing-dynasty models. Each tier carries a ring of small spouts, hand-painted with a floral design in a camaieu of cobalt blue on a white ground.

The quality comes from the raw materials: pure kaolin clay and feldspar (petuntse). The mix is fired at around 1400°C, which produces a fully vitrified, non-porous body. That hardness and density are clear from the real weight of the piece and the clear, singing note the porcelain makes when tapped.

The pyramid is built from three separate stacking sections, all hand-formed and hand-decorated, and given a softly aged finish in the spirit of antique originals. It holds short-stemmed tulips and other cut flowers across its many spouts, and also stands well on its own as a sculptural accent in a classic or modern interior. Sold as a single piece.
