This flower pyramid from 1695 was manufactured in Metalen Pot Factory, Netherlands. The function of this ceramic structure of Netherlands delftware is to display flowers in dutch and English manor houses; its 160cm and 32.5kg of tin glazed earthenware. This example is imitation of Chinese porcelain as the Dutch could no longer source it. What fascinates me is the scale of these towers and the precision that went into making each of the 12 stackable pieces.
