The vase is made from spun bamboo and has been given a decorative lacquer finish which gives it a beautiful shine. Available in gold leaf (as pictured above) or in red (as pictured below), the shimmering round table vase will make an excellent feature in a living room, dining room, hallway or bedroom. It can be placed on a table or alternatively, on the floor. Either way, its shine and eye-catching appeal will make it a notable accessory to whichever interior setting it is placed within.

One drawback is that bamboo vases in general, including this one, cannot directly hold water. There’s a very simple solution however and that is to place a small glass or plastic container within and fill that with water should you desire to place live flowers and plants inside. Different options would include using the round vase purely for dried flowers and branches or for faux-plants which are becoming ever more realistic and visually appealing.

A stretchable silicon rubber sleeve is the item which completely changes the function and appearance of the jar or bottle. It’s designed to slip around the rim and edge of the vessel in question and provide a traditional vase-like curvature for the arrangement of flowers. The sleeve apparently comes in different colors and is stretchable enough to be moulded around all shapes and sizes of rims.

This clever solution for a home lacking in vases is ideal for people who like to reuse items rather than throwing them away. The sleeve can be moved from one container to the next and is extremely easy to keep clean. With this silicon sleeve, you can place an old milk bottle on your living room coffee table and transform it into a vase full of colorful flowers. Alternatively, a jam jar or an old glass rice canister can be situated in the bathroom or bedroom and likewise filled with delightful floral arrangements.

Barnacles are small marine animals known as arthropods and attach themselves to rocks in shallow waters. From their permanent positions, they reach out from within their rock-hard shells to catch minute sea creatures to eat. You will have no doubt seen hundreds of barnacles below your feet if you’ve ever been to a rocky part of the coast or walked along a seaside pier and looked down at the pier’s legs. This tall ceramic barnacle vase is very much a reproduction of the scenes you can witness where barnacles are to be found.

Made from ceramic, the vase is ideal for the placement of flowers, dried plants and grasses. Water can be placed within to nourish the flowers and the stems can be put into any of the multiple barnacle holes. Just like in the seas, life will appear to spring from hard rock (or ceramic material in this case) and shells, and flourish. The tall barnacle vase can be situated on a bedside table, living room shelf or as a dining room focal point on the table where meals are served. Have a sea themed bathroom or bedroom? It will fit in perfectly there.

The knitted vase is also available in 3 different colors and two different sizes. Whichever particular design you choose, the knitted vase will compliment a multitude of décor schemes in a living room, bedroom, kitchen or home office. It can be used to hold flowers, pencils, beads and any other item you like to keep within easy reach or to place in a visually prominent position.

In fact, as one might imagine, the glass vase with a knitted cover will make a decorative feature in its own right, whether filled with something or not. Place it on a kitchen counter, a living room coffee table or best of all, on a home office desk, and it will provide a great little decorative feature and/or functional storage jar. It’ll make the overall surface area of your room a little bit softer and lessen the hard walled interior feel which can sometimes seem overwhelming.

The vase can hold a variety of objects with flowers being the most obvious. However, it’s also capable of being used as a wine bottle holder which can be unveiled to visiting friends and guests during a summer cocktail evening.

There’s no need to worry in this regard though as the tilting vase and sculpture are perfectly secure.

The hollow tree stem vase comes with a porcelain cup which can be removed. This is provided so as to allow water to be placed within thus keeping flowers and plants fresh for longer. There’s a choice between two types of wood and these are Alder or Birch. Both of which are used to make furniture, sculptures, medicines and guitars (in the case of Alder) as well as being symbolic in many cultural practices and traditions.

Place on a table, windowsill or beside your bed, and you’ll enjoy the natural fragrance of the bark, wood and whatever flowers you place inside the porcelain cup. One can also add potpourri and similar dried and fragrant plant materials. If, like me, you love to be reminded of the natural world and enjoy décor and home accessories which are imbued with rural life, then this tree stem vase will be a wonderful buy.

Koi fish are basically pretty versions of the common carp and are used for ornamental purposes in people’s ponds and water gardens. The Japanese carp were first domesticated in East Asia and then spread around the world including Europe, where the Romans were known to be keen admirers of the fish. Through the centuries, the carp were bred in different ways and developed new colorings and markings. This is why there are so many varieties today.

The Koi fish are a hardy species and this is reflected somewhat in this gloss white glaze koi vase. Within it’s mouth one can place a variety of items including flowers, grasses, bamboo and faux-plants. One can even leave it empty and let the natural beauty of the fish form become a decorative accent piece in itself.

The red-mahogany bamboo floor vase is 47 inches in height and has been made using natural spun bamboo. Its elegant and graceful shape means it will compliment a variety of interior styles and the red nature of the floor vase means it will add a touch of eye-catching color to what would otherwise be a bland interior setting. The red-mahogany bamboo floor vase has a multi-layer finish which gives the elegant vase a striking gleam which will really set off part of an interior space.

At its widest point, this red-mahogany bamboo floor vase is 18 inches in diameter which means it will be able to fit in a multitude of locations. Although for best usage, a larger space is possibly the best recommendation so as to gain the full visual treat that the gleaming red bamboo floor vase will add to an interior. Unfortunately, bamboo cannot hold water but this can be overcome, if you so desire to place live plants inside, by using a plastic container or glass insert. For this style of tall bamboo floor vase, I usually add dried branches and grasses or if applicable, realistic but tasteful faux flora and fauna.

Nahuatl is the name of the language group still spoken in the central American region where the Aztecs lived in what is now modern day Mexico, El Salvador and the small neighbouring states. This Aztec Nahuatl Jaguar Vase as seen above is in the typical style that has been passed down from generation to generation for many hundreds of years. In many ways, the jaguar design on this Nicaraguan pottery jar is reminiscent of the Aztec warriors known as Jaguar Warriors.

Did you know?: A few years ago archaeologists found a jar in Guatemala which portrayed on its side a stringed musical instrument. Dating from the Maya of the Late Classic Era (600-900 AD), it is the only known representation of a stringed instrument before the arrival of the Spanish. What is even more amazing is the sound it makes. When the instrument was reproduced and played the sound that resulted was virtually identical to a jaguar’s growl.

The modern gold painted vase can be displayed purely by itself as an accent piece. It’s beautiful curved form along with its unusual gold color will make it a focal point of virtually any room you place it inside. It’s rather Bohemian in style and thus if you are a wild child yourself and like to mix and match decor and decorative art, then this gold painted vase with a swirl will lend itself well to this interior design patchwork. However, many regular rooms in traditional styles will be able to hold this vase just as well.

The gold painted vase is metallic in nature and can also be used to provide a setting for plants, flowers and dried branches. Its waterproof nature means it will look extraordinary with certain flowers particularly purples and reds. Wild flowers might well suit this modern style of vase the most. You’ll probably know exactly what you can use this gold painted vase for when you see it.
