Tulpenvaas Dolomites

Handmade Dolomites ceramic vase, sculpted mountain landscape with a tiny alpine church climbing the slope, finished in rose-pink peaks, glacial blue, and alpine-meadow green. One of a kind, made in the Netherlands by a mother-and-son studio. Only one exists in the world. Once it's sold, it's gone. Like an Italian Alps postcard caught in clay. Rose-pink mountain peaks rise at the top, the very pink the Dolomites turn at sunset (the Italians call it enrosadira). A tiny sculpted church and a little car sit on a winding mountain road, while glacial blue rock-faces, snow patches, and a soft alpine-green meadow tumble down toward the base. The reactive glaze pools and crystallises in the kiln, leaving moss-like textures, copper veins, and tiny snow-bubble pools where the colours met. At 19 cm tall, this is a generous size, large enough to hold a full bouquet of tulips or wildflowers, yet sculptural enough to display alone as a tiny mountain landscape. Use it for: ✦ a tulip, alpine wildflower or dried-bouquet vase on a dining table ✦ a memory-keeper for a couple who hiked or honeymooned in the Dolomites ✦ a mountain or alpine decor accent on a sideboard, shelf or mantel ✦ a standalone sculptural piece in a reading nook or window ✦ a wedding-gift, housewarming, anniversary or retirement statement piece, especially for hikers, climbers and travellers THE DETAILS
