For the mad scientist in your life...

Consider these "chemist Vases" from anthropology. I love the inclusion if the more modern shape of the funnel-looking vase, with the more ornate, old-fashioned shapes. It helps make the rounder shapes look more like they belong in an alchemical set. And I love these colors- in clear, these wouldn't have much presence, but in bold colors you wouldn't notice the shapes as well, unless maybe you went to the dark amber of some of the old glasswear for pills and such. I always like vases that don't need stuff in them in order to look nice. I just don't have the money or patience to keep filling them with flowers or whatever.

(Man, I wish I could figure out how to get images off their website.)
