Making a tasteful statement in a home with contemporary décor, this narrow vase would best highlight sparse arrangements of long-stemmed but casual flowers, such as tulips, irises, or alstroemeria. Four angular sides form a diamond-shaped design with a flared rim. Made of lead crystal, the vase weighs a substantial 8 pounds. It stands 12 inches tall at its highest point, and its rim is 7-3/4 inches long at its widest point and 4-3/4 inches at its shortest.--Cristina Vaamonde
