The Delft potteries were commissioned by Willem III and his court to make impressive tulip vases and other imposing pieces. The King of England ordered pieces of Delftware to decorate the palaces of his kingdom. This large tulip vase was made in the Delft pottery De Grieksche A for the stadholder-king and it is still owned by the royal family. Adriaen Kocks was in charge of the pottery during this period and he supervised its manufacture. ## Related artworks - [Dish with a Representation of the Sense of Hearing]() - [Dish with a Winter Landscape]() - [Dish with Chinese Figures]() - [Dish with Chinese Figures]() - [Large covered jar]() - [Large covered vase]() - [Octagonal vase]() - [Octagonal vase]() - [Plaque with a Landscape]() - [Plaque with a Portrait of Robertus Junius]() - [Plaque with the Prophet Elijah Fed by the Ravens]() - [Plaque with View inside a Gothic Church]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
