Come on, what were they thinking, this vase is like an upside down traffic cone spray painted blue with a few random sun symbols sprinkled around.
It reminds me somehow of the seaside, except it’s the wrong blue and the suns aren’t yellow. With it’s rolled over top it looks like a drain pipe that’s gone [...]

This vase is eight inches of pottery and an inch of wickerwork and while it’s an interesting combination it’s bizaare!
Just why would you want a wicker neck to a vase? You can’t possibly pour water away when it’s time to empty it without the wickerwork getting sodden with water and leaf debris. You know what [...]

I’m not really sure what the point of this lump of stoneware is, whether it was intended for use as a vase or something quite different I don’t know.
Regardless it’s a strange one, it’s close to being an attractive form, but it’s all lumpy bumpy and misshapen. Even the bulbous base is ridged although it’s [...]

This is a strange one. It’s obviously very old as the glazing is crazed all over, but it has no makers marks on the base or anywhere else that I can discern.
Sadly it has the a couple of blemishes, it has the smallest of chips but on the base, so it’s hardly noticeable. In fact [...]

A vase should be designed to display flowers and show them off to their best effect. It’s like a great waiter at a restaurant, you’re aware of them moving silently around the table, food arriving, empty plates disappearing, your glass being refilled, but they’re not the main event. Sure you’re grateful for their presence but [...]

What do you get if you take a bottle, stick a candle in the top and leave it for a few hours to burn? Yes, that’s right, a bottle covered in candle wax. Of course to totally cover the bottle you’d probably need to burn quite a few candles but don’t worry, here’s the solution:
Buy [...]

I laughed when I first saw this jug, I couldn’t help it. I just couldn’t believe that anyone could make something quite so bad.
I’m really not sure if it’s supposed to be a vase, or if it really is intended for decanting your wine into. I just can’t picture it at a graceful dinner party [...]

I really like this vase, I’d have it on display and use it but I can’t, it’s only half glazed
Well I say half glazed, but that’s a bit of an overstatement, it’s not even fully glazed on the outside, just about three quarters of the way from the top to…. well not quite [...]

I love this vase, I just don’t love the metal work it’s standing in!
It has three silly curvy feet and two pretty insubstantial handles and I don’t know whey they bothered. Sure it’s good to have the pot raised so that it doesn’t scratch your expensive table top. Trouble is I’m not sure scratches [...]

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 [...]
