Flower vase, c. 1700, De Witte Ster (The White Star) Factory, 46 1/16 × 15 3/8 × 15 1/4 in. (117 × 39.05 × 38.74 cm) (approx.), Tin-glazed earthenware, pigments, Netherlands, 18th century, 'Tulip mania' reached its height in the 1630s in Europe, with wealthy men and women spending great sums of money to acquire exotic tulip bulbs from the Middle East. More generally, there was enthusiasm for all types of rare flowers, such as marigolds, which came from Mexico via Spain. Potters in Holland created elaborate multitiered vases like this one to showcase colorful blooms. Here, the borders of scrolling lotuses, chrysanthemums, ruyi (scepter heads), and the Chinese character for longevity are copied from decoration on Chinese blue-and-white porcelain vases imported in large quantities in the 1600s. It is unlikely that Dutch craftsmen or customers knew the meaning of these motifs.
