The icon of Delft earthenware is still the ‘vase with touts’. The vase was meant to be filled with a variety of flowers, not just tulips as the popular name ‘tulip vase’ does suspect. Since 1685 this bowl shaped model with a loose lid has been produced in Delft. The flowers that filled the vases in this period were sought after collectors’ items, just as the blue and white earthenware itself.
