Franz Collection Van Gogh Almond Flower Design Sculptured Porcelain Large Vase

About Almond Blossom Collection

This artwork is inspired by Van Gogh's painting 'Almond Blossom' of 1890. Van Gogh's brother Theo told Van Gogh in a letter taht his nephew was born and was named Vincent Willem. Van Gogh got so excited after finding this out that he decided to create a painting. It was to be hung in Theo's rooom to salute his son's birth. The almond tree always blossoms in February as to announce the coming of Spring and to represent the birth of a new life. Franz designer, Span Lin transformed the blue sky of Southern France into a  vase with the almond tree blossoming freely with the blue sky as a background, creating an incredible scene.
