Heath Ceramics Bud Vase
I have a few of these bud vases from legendary Bay Area manufacturer Heath Ceramics and they’re honestly perfect: the shape, the size, the colors. Pop a colorful stem in there and you’re good to go. Anything you buy from Heath is a surefire solid bet, but these little bulbous thangs are my favorite. [$23; Heath Ceramics]
