Tulip vase designed by Siem van der Marel for Glasfabriek Leerdam (Royal Leerdam). Crafted in clear orange glass, the object features a flowing, stylized silhouette reminiscent of the tulip, an iconic symbol of Dutch culture. The vase opens upwards with rounded lobes and a sturdy, transparent base, characteristic of Van der Marel's work, where form and function harmoniously blend.
This vase is part of the Leerdam design tradition, known for its quality craftsmanship and modernist approach to glass design. Siem van der Marel, who served as the head designer at Glasfabriek Leerdam for many years, played a significant role in the renewal of Dutch glass design in the second half of the 20th century.
