Stick your favorite flowers in this pretty celadon ceramic vase after your next trip to the farmer's market. Hand made by Thai artisans Thatsanee and Ramphan, the cylindrical vase features a short, narrow neck with a flared lip and a subtle crackled finish.

This masterfully carved decorative vase from Sarwaedi of Bali was inspired by the Javanese legend of Naga Baru Klinting. The subtle application of paint and gilded accents give the vase the appearance of a treasured antique.

According to the legend, Baru Klinting was a dragon who promised a sage that he could circle the whole Merapi Volcano in Central Java to prove that he was the sage's son, but failed to do so. The dragon used his tongue instead, which enraged the sage, and the sage swung a sword to cut his tongue. The dragon fell to the earth. Then people living near the volcano cut up the dragon's body and took it home to make a feast. Suddenly, a midget appeared and put a stick in the earth, and said that he would take all of the dragon's meat if no one was capable of removing the stick. People tried because they didn't want to lose their chance for a feast, but none were able to do it. The midget then removed the stick from the ground, and suddenly in that spot water started to flood the whole village, turning the village into a spring that is present to this day. Later on, another sage revealed that the midget was the soul of the dragon, enraged with the people that tried to eat his body.

Working in handblown art glass, Molinari Family artisans create a vase that evokes the sky at sunrise. The voluptuous jar narrows at the neck, then fans outward, shading from golden amber to shades of deep rose. Inspired by the legendary work of Murano artisans in Italy, the Brazilian artists craft a modern heirloom with crystalline bubbles.

Because each piece is handmade, shape and size can vary slightly and tiny bubbles may appear within the glass. This exemplifies the hand-blown technique, making every piece a unique example of blown glass craftsmanship.
