I can’t see anyone actually using this for a vase, it’s not only unattractive it’s not even large enough or vase shaped enough!
The first time someone puts a bunch of flowers in this it’ll be top heavy and likely to be knocked over the minute it’s touched. Sure it’s got a flat base, but it’s [...]

One would be bad, two would be worse, but three is just taking the mickey!
Someone must have been on a mad collecting spree because these vases are all the same style, but the decoration and shape of each differs. I’m not even sure which shape I prefer, the one with the long neck that reminds [...]

The body of this vase is almost heart shaped, but that does nothing to make me love it. In fact this is one of those vases which isn’t just ugly, but one that I truly hate!
Why people make vases like trophies I don’t know, who would honestly want to be presented with this as a [...]

At first glance I thought this was Egyptian, but it’s Greek, kinda helps that it has “Made in Greece” on the base. Doesn’t really matter because either way it’s a weird piece!
The rows of figures carved into the side are all named, but a search of the Internet isn’t particularly revealing as to who they [...]

Someone is going to tell me that this is a great vase, just because it has “Sylvac” stamped on the base. There’s bound to be someone who is impressed by the name, but I’m not!
This is horrible, it’s not a particularly attractive shape, the pattern is dull, the colours are revolting! To be perfectly honest [...]

I couldn’t resist this vase when I first saw it, it’s not particularly attractive, in fact quite the opposite. What intrigued me was the way that it’s been made.
It started off life as a flat piece of glass, with loads of squares inside each other, starting from tiny but getting bigger and bigger as you [...]

There is just no way you can take this vase seriously! It’s got everything, and having too much often isn’t a good thing!
The vase itself is so overly juggy, that it’s almost a caricature of a jug - a hugely oversized handle, a curving spout and a neck that looks like a Victorian lady’s waist [...]

I often suspect that some of the vases I own are mass produced. Others although individually unique are made to a certain pattern and only the decoration is individual. That’s not the case with this eleven inch beauty!
There really can’t be too many ceramic bottles around that have been lovingly painted in the manner. If [...]

Edward Thomas Brown Radford has a lot to answer for, not least of which is this jug. It was nice of him to sign the bottom so that we know who was responsible, but if it was me I’d have probably refrained from owning up to it!
It’s not the decoration, although it’s a typical Radford [...]

I’m confidently expecting someone to tell me this is “cute”, “Adorable” or “Lovable”. I’m certain there’s someone who thinks this is so cute to encourage a child to grow a plant, or someone who collects teddy bears and thinks this would be an unusual addition to their collection.
I only have one word for you - [...]
