Whether you’re displaying fresh-cut or dried blooms, contemporary vases offer a stylish way to hold botanicals. There are so many choices beyond the plain, clear glass cylinder forms we so often think of. From colorful cats to anatomical hearts to colorful abstract forms, there is something that will appeal to every type of home decor.

You might be wondering if a planter is the same thing as a flower vase. While they are similar, vases are typically narrower and aren’t meant for holding dirt with plants taking root. They can keep some water, but it’s for helping to maintain the fresh blooms.

Some vases can't hold water and are appropriate only for small cuttings. These are known as bud vases. Because they don’t have to worry about liquid, this allows artisans to get even more creative with their forms and essentially make sculptures that happen to have flowers in them.
