Lasi vase, large vanilla

We found this vase - the Lasi in Vanilla - and we have to say, it's the kind of thing that makes us feel like we know what we're doing with interior design, which we don't. It's hand-blown glass, which means someone actually sat down and made it by mouth, a fact that becomes oddly erotic once you think about it.

The shape is organic in that way that suggests accident more than intention, which is probably the whole point. It's vanilla-colored, a shade that sounds boring until you realize it's warm and forgiving and goes with basically everything we own. Ten inches wide, nearly twelve inches tall - substantial enough that it won't disappear on a shelf but not so large that we feel like we're decorating a hotel lobby.

Each one is different because they're made by hand (and mouth), which we appreciate, even though it means we can't guarantee ours will match the one in the photo. It's glass. That's it. No tricks. We like that about it.
