"Flowers can instantly bring warmth to a home, especially in the dregs of winter when the world outside is gray and lifeless. But whether your taste is more cabbage rose or anthurium, you'll need a vessel to display them in. The best flower vases give your favorite paper-wrapped blooms (or artificial stems) a home and accentuate their beauty; they don't cover it up."
"Designed by Finnish icon Alvar Aalto, this vase has been a staple in midcentury and Scandinavian design for decades. The undulated glass form gives any standard bouquet a sense of movement. Utilize the different compartments to cluster certain stems or petal colors. When not used to hold blooms, it can also double as an ice bucket or produce bowl. For Spatterware Devotees If your design style leans more English cottage than modernist, look to a terra-cotta vase to amplify that lived-in, old-world aesthetic."
Flowers bring warmth to a home, especially in winter when the world outside is gray and lifeless. A vase must display blooms without obscuring their beauty, providing structure or romance depending on form. Classic curving urns add romance while ikebana vases provide structure. Choices range from midcentury glass like the Aalto vase with undulated compartments to terra-cotta splatterware urns for an English cottage look. Functional versatility includes using certain vases as ice buckets or produce bowls. Options span traditional glass cylinders to miniature bud vases, accommodating amateurs and professionals alike with nine top selections.
