A white tulip vase with a trendy cylindrical shape. This snow-white tulip vase is one of our most iconic tulip vases. The tulip vase has the shape of a cylinder, and the characteristic spouts are all on top of the tulip vase, pointing straight up. The tulip vase originated after Queen Mary II commissioned potters in Delft to create a vase to fill her rooms with fresh flowers. The tulip vase then became extremely popular and also played an important role during the tulip mania in the Netherlands, when some tulip varieties cost more than a canal house in Amsterdam. Of course, you wouldn't put such expensive flowers in an ordinary vase. The various spouts of the tulip vase provide sturdy support for the delicate flower stems, so the flowers do not get damaged and stay beautiful longer. Something we still benefit from today.
