canadianbear Posted May 6 #2 Share Posted May 6 I have no idea but I purchased 2 on our South Pacific cruise when I ordered flowers for our cabin as we were on for 35 days. I also ordered 2 for friends on the ship. I found it difficult to decide which vase as they were all so pretty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn2002 Posted May 6 #3 Share Posted May 6 Do they sell the vases on board. I thought they looked very pretty online but couldn't decide which one so would like to see them before deciding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiting2retire Posted May 6 #4 Share Posted May 6 They do! I bought mine onboard The Rotterdam in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted May 6 #5 Share Posted May 6 They are pretty vases. Perhaps you can write guest relations and ask. I have written them with such questions, it takes them a while to track it down but they usually will get back to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted May 6 #6 Share Posted May 6 You can order them on the ship, they are shipped out of Miami, shipping cost is a flat rate regardless of the number of vases you order you order 1pc or 10pc is the same price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raelyn Posted May 6 #7 Share Posted May 6 I purchased two on the Koningsdam. At one of the flower arranging demonstrations, the florist said they were made in Holland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted May 6 #8 Share Posted May 6 (edited) It might be this company that makes them. Their website shows one 4-tulip vase, and those miniature houses that you find in the Dutch Cafe. The vases on board aren't signed or stamped on the bottom like the expensive ones are elsewhere; however they might be producing them specially for HAL. Just a guess!

BeachBum47 Posted May 7 #9 Share Posted May 7 I think they’re made in Delft in The Netherlands. It’s where the famous blue and white Dutch pottery comes from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly g Posted May 18 #10 Share Posted May 18 The florist on the Rotterdam said the vases are made in Holland but there is no mark on the vase. On our trans Atlantic he ran out of some of the designs. I was hoping when we stopped in Rotterdam new ones would come on board but they didn’t. Disappointed in that.

Rare Haljo1935 Posted May 19 #11 Share Posted May 19 My understanding is they're handmade in Netherlands. Some of my older ones have a small mark on the bottom. You can order and have shipped as @Gail & Marty sailing away said or you can buy onboard. They make wonderful gifts. HAL has the best florists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare electro Posted July 16 #12 Share Posted July 16 My sister and I both bought 2 vases each on out cruise in June. When we got home and she used hers, she found that one of them leaks. It looks like the bottom seams were properly glazed so the water seeps through the pottery. Anyone else have this happen? Is there anything she can do to get a replacement? Thanks Lois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To aavaoid any leaking vases, I'll fill each with water while still on the ship - if they leak, I can return them and avoid seeking replacements. I had a vase that "leaked" along the bottom perimeter because the glaze inside wasn't solid enough. Loved the vase, so I picked up a spray can of the "as seen on TV seals all sorts of leaks" clear material - it worked after I sprayed inside and outside of the vase - sometimes, condensation presents as a leak, so I always use a cork pad or glass plate under a vase or flower pot to protect wood surfaces.

Lizard13 Posted July 17 #14 Share Posted July 17 I bought an arrangement on board and picked out the vase I like best. It was a 21 day cruise and some of the flowers started to fade. I called the front desk and ask for my flowers to be refreshed, expecting to pay for a new arrangement but much to my delight the florist came to my room and refreshed the arrangement without a charge. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne123 Posted July 27 #15 Share Posted July 27 Just a shout out to the fabulous florist on the Westerdam. DD gave me a birthday arrangement that was absolutely gorgeous with lillies, roses, carnations, freesia and ferns. This is the arrangement after seven days still looking great. It killed me to toss the flowers to take the vase home. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
