Delft Tulip Vase

I always wanted to own an authentic Delftware piece, tin glazed. I decided to buy a tulip vase from one of the shops in the city that sells authentic pieces.

They had a lot of other nice things, but they were pricey. If you want the real deal, be prepared to pay for it.

My tulip vase is relatively small, round and it holds 7 tulips. I paid 280 Euros for it. It was the only souvenir that I really wanted to get from Amsterdam and I am very glad I had the chance to get it. It looks beautiful on the table!

What to buy: authentic Delftware pieces

What to pay: the cheapest piece starts at about $50 Euros and the prices go up to more than 2000 Euros. you can also buy a small Christmas ornament for about $40 Euros, but I decided to pass on it and stick to the tulip vase purchase only.
