With the ubiquity of vases available on the market today, I have been searching in vain for something a little more creative than the standard IKEA and West Elm selections. When I discovered the Large Wavy Bud vases at Hip and Zen, my search was complete. These unique vases are shallow, designed to hold only the buds and blooms. A collection of these vases would go beautifully atop a wood table or nested on a silver tray.

Handmade in Thailand, each round, white ceramic vase is embellished with intricate black and gray designs that are reminiscent of the magnificent beauty of the great outdoors. Mother Nature's vivid color palette will pop against these interesting yet neutral vases. (Available at Hip and Zen for $10.)
