A Great Shaped Vase - Horrible Decoration

A great vase this one, if you have tall flowers. Ample height at 12″ tall and large enough to hold a good supply of water.
It’s a West German vase, and a pretty popular shape. With the backstamp 517-30 a quick search of the Internet reveals it’s a pretty standard size.
It’s in great condition, there’s just [...]

Is It A Vase - No It’s A Candle Holder

I’ve never seen a vase quite like this before. I don’t think it was actually intended for flowers, inside on the base is a candlestick holder, or at least I presume that’s what it’s intended for.
It’s a really strange design for a candlestick though - standing at four inches deep the candle is going to [...]

Embellished With Flowers - New Depths Of Ugliness

Well even in terms of ugly vases this little gem stands out all on it’s own. I don’t think I’ve ever seen quite such a disgustingly decorated vase before.
Leaving aside the fact that there’s a chip in the glaze (which you can just make out to the left of the top front red flower) it’s [...]

Broken And Repaired - The Ugly Rose Flagon

Somone somewhere thought this vase worthy, but who I don’t know. If the lumpy neck of the vase isn’t enough to put you off the roses adorning the sides will certainly send you running.
It’s a desperately sad vase, the base is so uneven that it struggles to stand up, proven by the fact at some [...]

House Brick - This Vase Is Made Of One

We promised you ugly vases but I think this one is a cracker! You’d have to go a long way to find a worse one!
It’s a fair size - 11 inches tall, but that really is all it has going for it, bar weighing enough to make a decent door stop.
It’s made (unbelievably) from house [...]

Ink Pot Vase - Cute, but too small

This is a weird little vase, I don’t know quite how much use it would be to anyone. It’s only 2 1/2 inches high so it would have to be some very delicate little flowers to stand in it.
I’d say in all honesty it’d be better put to use as in inkpot than a vase, [...]

Bloody Ugly - A Brown Vase With Splodges

I couldn’t resist buying this little jem when I saw it advertised as “HAND MADE VASE - BLOODY UGLY !!!!!!!” So of course I bought it!
It is bloody ugly, great shape, but horrible dull brown colour with strange white splodges. They look as if it’s paint with a dabs of white spirits or other oil [...]

A Vase Shaped Vase - Green Glass Vase

It must be green glass day today! I’m actually quite fond of this little vase and wasn’t going to talk about it on here, but I just can’t find a reason not to!
There’s just something about it that makes me think it must be ugly because I can’t work out why I like it.
There’s nothing [...]

10 Green Bottles Hanging on the Wall…

Well this is a strange one! It has absolutely nothing to recomend it apart from it’s ugliness!
It’s just a bottle! It’s green glass reminiscent of a beer bottle except that it’s elongated and squared off at the bottom. Standing at 17″ tall a vase of this stature should be making a statement. All this one [...]

Where’s The Fuse? - The Bomb Vase

Why would someone make a vase that looked like a grenade? This vase really does look like the comic book bomb, it wouldn’t surprise me to see it in a Tom and Jerry cartoon with a fuse sticking out of it.
The vase is not made of metal but at first glance it looks as though [...]
