Price History
Description
Set of two beautiful Delft blue and white vases, they're very pretty displayed with or without flowers The classic figure eight shape is a revered symbol within Chinese culture, with connections to the celestial. Little wonder that the rounded gourd became imbued with similar energy. The form became associated with Shou Lao, the god of longevity, who is often depicted drinking an elixir of life from the vessel. Whilst it may not bring immortality (that we know of), the benefits of the vase's benevolence are as sprawling as its pattern of blooming flowers.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this blue and white Delft-style vase - it’s a classic that adds a touch of heritage charm to any space. It works beautifully in both traditional and modern interiors, bringing a hint of colour and pattern without overwhelming. For styling, I’d suggest pairing it with fresh blooms like white roses or eucalyptus to highlight its colours, but it also works well as a standalone sculptural piece on a sideboard or mantel. Placing it with other blue accents can create a cohesive look, or let it stand out on its own as a statement piece. Its understated elegance makes it versatile enough to enhance a variety of settings, from cosy country cottages to contemporary urban homes.
