Double Fish Vase

SALONG Vase

For that standard-issue spray of flowers that you might grab while shopping or that a friend might drop off as a gift, Patterson says that a nice urn-shaped vase with a wider base and narrower opening at the top will do the trick: “You can just plop them in and you don’t have to fuss with them too much.” This is ideal when you’ve received flowers as a host gift, but you’re trying to get dinner for your guests on the table and don’t really have time to artfully arrange the bouquet.
