The Story Behind the Tulipiere: A Vase Designed for Beauty and Conversation
For centuries, flowers have been used to bring beauty into the home, but few vessels are as distinctive and fascinating as the tulipiere.
Originally developed in 17th-century Holland during the height of “Tulip Mania,” tulipieres were created to display prized tulip blooms individually rather than in a traditional bouquet. Their unique multi-spouted design allowed each stem to have its own place, showcasing the beauty of every bloom while creating a dramatic floral display.
Today, tulipieres remain beloved by collectors, designers, and flower enthusiasts alike. Their sculptural form adds elegance to mantels, dining tables, entryways, and bookshelves, whether filled with fresh flowers or realistic botanicals.
At Scissortail Rose Collection, we are thrilled to introduce our newest tulipiere vases, including the stunning Evora Tall Tulipiere and Evora Round Tulipiere. Inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional European designs, these pieces bring old-world charm into modern homes.
One of the reasons we love tulipieres so much is their versatility. While they were originally designed for tulips, they can be styled with roses, ranunculus, peonies, hydrangeas, seasonal stems, or realistic florals. Each opening becomes an opportunity to create movement, texture, and visual interest.
For a fresh summer look, we recommend using a mixture of soft garden roses, delicate greenery, and a few statement blooms. During the holidays, tulipieres can be transformed with evergreen stems, berries, and winter florals to create a centerpiece that feels both festive and sophisticated.
The Evora collection was selected with versatility in mind. Whether your style leans traditional, cottage-inspired, modern classic, or collected European, these pieces serve as both functional vessels and decorative accents.
We believe beautiful objects should tell a story. The tulipiere is more than a vase—it is a piece of history that continues to inspire creativity centuries after its creation.
We are currently creating a styling and history video featuring the Evora Collection. Be sure to follow us on social media and check back soon for inspiration, styling tips, and decorating ideas.
