Buy It Now: Closely Separated Vase

A vase is often a frilly and feminine thing, but not so in the case of this fractured vessel by Michael Geertsen. Created for Muuto, the vase is called 'Closely Separated' and it creates just the right balance between hard modernity and human crafting, as it is created by hand by throwing traditional shapes likes cups and bowls on a potter's wheel which are then reassembled to create a chimeric container. Available with a tin glaze in white or yellow, the vase costs £79 from the Conran Shop.
