Pair of Cobalt-Blue Glazed Faience Tulip Vases with twelve spouts, Hand-Painted with Floral Motifs and Cherubs, in the 17th-Century Style Probably Netherlands, Delft-inspired work, modern era

Elegant and theatrical, this rare pair of French manufacturer tulip vases features a tiered architectural silhouette, characteristic of Dutch tulipieres from the Golden Age. Each piece rises from a richly adorned square base, crowned by three ascending levels of floral spouts designed to hold precious tulip stems—emblems of luxury and refinement in the 17th century.

The faience, in a luminous deep cobalt blue, is delicately hand-painted with floral scrolls, baroque volutes, and winged cherubs, evoking the festive and allegorical décor favored in aristocratic interiors of the period. The pictorial work, executed with great finesse, reflects a mastery of technique where each detail resonates with both Oriental porcelain traditions and European rocaille influences.

Sculptural yet functional, these pieces embody the spirit of collecting and botanical passion that flourished in grand Dutch households of the 17th century. They will appeal to connoisseurs of antique faience, enthusiasts of historical decoration, and collectors seeking a rare and poetic accent.
Each vase weighs 2.100 kg and this shows its highquality.
