A New Look For Hearts and Flowers

The stylized heart that festoons Valentine's Day cards bears little resemblance to the truth beating inside your chest. Esque has created a new glass vase that strips away the illusion. It's pretty, it's just a different kind of pretty than what you are used to. The vase, which is designed and produced in oregon by justin parker and andi kovel, is part of a limited edition of 200 numbered and signed vases and sells for $450. It's striking but I wonder what sort of flowers could work in a vase like this.

Might be a great gift for a cardiologist!!! You could write a cute little message on the gift card, like "Have a heart"~~~!!!

I like the vase but what kind of idiot would pay 450.00 for a Valentine's Day gift?

Eesh. Is this what they call avant garde art? It appears best suited for use as a garde, or doorstop.

Happy Valentine's Day, here's a glass spleen.
Actually, If you squint your eyes it kind of looks like a bagpipe.
