Pleasure Finds Friday: Heath Bud Vase

I completely understand if you are stressed out about money at the moment. Most of the world, or certainly the people I know, are trying to reduce their spending by removing all unnecessary items from their shopping lists. But do not eliminate from your life the little treats that bring you pleasure, I implore you! For me, one of those little treats is fresh cut flowers. And I have discovered the perfect bud vase in which to place that just-awakening tulip or Gerber daisy.

By Heath Ceramics

This sweet little red vase, from Heath Ceramics’ 2008 Limited Edition Winter Collection, holds a single bud, or perhaps a few of the thin-stemmed variety, beautifully. It makes a statement in any room, bringing a splash of color to your surroundings and a smile to your face. I just bought one of my very own, and have placed it on my kitchen table to hold an almost perfect white rose.

And for those who know nothing about Heath Ceramics, let me tell you a quick story. The company is based in Sausalito, California, but, happily, they just opened a gorgeous, minimalist showroom in Los Angeles. Edith Heath started the company in the mid-1940′s and, while she is gone and the company is now owned by someone else, they still make pottery the old-fashioned way. For that alone, they get a gold star.

So, what flower will you place in yours?
