Your good vases have a way of becoming a part of your life. You may move a hundred times, but your prized vases are right there with you. They're somehow more than just decor or receptacles for flowers. I think they provide a sense of continuity in our fractured modern lives. And they do it without taking up much space.

These are those kind of vases. Ones you (or your gift recipient) will keep forever. This collection runs the gamut from whimsical to high-style. But all of these vases are unusual beautiful high-quality handmade keepers. Prices range from $29 - $207, with most under $100. And you'll usually find more of similar quality by clicking the artist name link.
