One component of prize winning Dutch designer Marcel Wanders' 'Blue Ming' collection for Vista Alegre, this elaborate cake stand embodies the series' signature marriage of symmetrical parts with sculptural elements. Simultaneously, the combination of the Dutch century-old tradition of Delft pottery — known as Delft Blue — with Chinese Ming porcelain is an emblematic merger of two countries and their cultural heritages. Defined by sculptural forms, and tulip and leaf motifs alongside elegant blue graphics, the cake stand makes a bold statement whether displayed as part of an ensemble or as an individual piece.
