The mantelpiece that has held the same two things for years, and still looks right. Hand-painted in Jingdezhen — where the cobalt-on-white tradition has been kept by the same families for generations — each of these two vases carries a distinct classic form, linked by the same blue and the same unhurried brushwork. The gourd shape draws from Chinese feng shui; the cylinder from the Dutch Golden Age that borrowed it. Two pieces, one conversation. They work with flowers, or without.

Inspiration
An antidote to unease; a Dutch Delft gourd vase that looks as good as the luck it brings.

If you're in the habit of breaking mirrors, a gourd would be good. Chinese feng shui suggests they counter malevolence, transforming ill intentions into positive energy.

The classic figure eight shape is a revered symbol within Chinese culture, with connections to the celestial. Little wonder that the rounded gourd became imbued with similar energy. The form became associated with Shou Lao, the god of longevity, who is often depicted drinking an elixir of life from the vessel. Whilst it may not bring immortality (that we know of), the benefits of the vase's benevolence are as sprawling as its pattern of blooming flowers.

You can add blossoms to boost the beauty of these, but they add a certain chic with or without them. In any room, at any time, everyone could use a few more flowers and little more luck.
