Three Delft Bud Vases

The shelf that holds three different things and looks entirely right. Hand-painted in Jingdezhen — where cobalt on white has been fired for over a thousand years — each of the three vases carries a different form and motif, linked by the same tradition. They work together on a windowsill or mantelpiece, and equally well apart. Three pieces that belong to the same story without telling it the same way.
