'The Night Watch' by Rembrandt van Rijn

The painting pictured on this paper vase cover is The Night Watch. An unparalleled masterpiece. It is Rembrandt's most famous and certainly the greatest painting. In this painting, Rembrandt unequivocally draws attention to the action and interaction between the people. This way of painting was in the golden age - in the time of Rembrandt - very unique and unusual for a group portrait. With this Rembrandt shows his originality. With the aid of light, the painter draws attention to important details, such as the hand gesture of the captain and the little girl in the background.

Dutch Design hand-made in India

The vase is hand-made by Indian women from the ‘Pardeshi’, a community of around 700 people who live on the streets of the red-light district in Mumbai, India. The Dutch Tiny Miracles charity enables these women to become financially self-sufficient. The production of the Paper Vase Cover provides them with an opportunity. The Tiny Miracles Foundation's goal is to break the cycle of poverty for the whole community. An essential element of this is enabling the participants to become self-sufficient as quickly as possible. So they receive a decent wage and health care. In addition, the Foundation sends the children to an English school and organizes many fun activities.
