12 Gorgeous Ceramic Vases That Belong in Your Home Immediately
Also known as the solution to boring centerpieces.


Fact: If your vase isn't chic enough to be used as a centerpiece, you're doing it (and your flowers) wrong. Although there are so many to choose from—after, of course, deciding whether you want glass, ceramic, metal, wood, stone, etc. (I don't make the rules!)—you should never compromise on the #aesthetic when it comes to choosing a home for your plants. To make the search a bit less overwhelming and your home a lot brighter, start with these gorgeous ceramic vases, below.
