The Legend of the Tulip

• Inspired by 17th century English artwork, the Fables & Flowers design on the K-14173 Cantata bathroom sink features tulips in shades of red, pink, and white on a crackled white background.

• The design includes delicate script encircling the sink rim which tells the legendary story of the tulip:

"Once upon a time, a youth was enamored of a beautiful girl.

Rumor reached him that his beloved had died.

Mounting his horse, he galloped off the edge of a rocky escarpment, meeting death instantly.

As blood seeped from his wounds, bright red tulips sprang up all around.

Thus the red tulip became a declaration of love.

A tulip offered by a young man to his beloved says, "as the redness of this flower, I am on fire with love."
