| Tulips like these exuberant blue
and green ones that seem to fill the bowl, or the charming trio of
yellow flowers on the Standish Family Lobed Dish, were a popular
design motif in England and Holland from 1650 to 1700. First
exported to Europe from Turkey in the 1500s, tulips captured the
imagination and desires of the Dutch, Throughout the 1600s a
period of "tulipomania" ensued, and the cultivation and
marketing of tulips became a craze in Holland. |
