Introduction For centuries it was a popular tradition especially in Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States to buy flower bulbs in autumn and force them to flower indoors in the wintertime. The hyacinth became the favourite among these bulbs, especially for forcing on glass vases. When the specially prepared hyacinth bulbs were put on vases filled with water and placed in a cool location for some time, roots developed and after bringing them into the warmer part of the house, they showed their fragrant flowers from Christmastime onwards. On this website you will find information on hyacinth vases and vases for various other bulbs. I will refer to them as vases. In Holland and Germany however the vases are usually called in Dutch: 'hyacintenglazen', or in German: 'Hyazinthengläser', translated into English: 'hyacinth glasses'. The term "hyacinth glasses" can be found as well in older English and American catalogues. Vases specially made for forcing other bulbs like amaryllis and crocuses are also discussed on this site. A separate chapter deals with ceramic crocus pots. |

More than four centuries ago the professional growing of flower bulbs was started not far from my home, around the city of Haarlem, west of Amsterdam. In the 17th century the tulip bulb trade resulted in the world-famous "Tulipmania", when tulip bulbs were sold at gigantic prices. About a century later the same happened with the hyacinth bulb, albeit on a smaller scale. The hyacinth became the flower of fashion! Soon the growing of hyacinths on glass was to follow, mainly to bring the flowering of the bulbs forward and have the blooms on one's windowsill in midwinter. All the more reason why I started collecting the beautiful, colourful and decorative bulb vases. This website aims to give you a survey of the many different designs produced over the last centuries and the growing of bulbs on them. However the pictures show only a small sample of the great diversity of existing vases! Perhaps the site will encourage you to start collecting them or forcing bulbs on vases in the home! Enjoy watching the sunlight shining through a row of these colourful vases in your window sill. Good collecting! Collecting hyacinth vases is fun! Wim Granneman |
