Best of Three: Orange Vases

bof3-orangevases-ATCHI.jpgOur sister is in the market for an orange glass vase, which she wants to add to the corner of her bathroom which is predominantly sage. She thinks the orange will add a nice "pop" to the room. Here are three currently on the market which may be what she's looking for. Which do you think is the top of the pops?

I voted for the Brentwood - but it's made my Kenneth Wingard who has a selection of many more shapes:

I would never pay 88 bucks for that Brentwood vase. Far to common looking for that price. Looks like something one might get at a Big Lots store.

I would head straight for antique and vintage stores...I bet you could find some killer vintage glass vases there, and probably much cheaper than any of these.

I agree with michpc if you have the time. Otherwise, not a true vase but could be used as a bud or small cut flower vase are these from glassybaby..I bought the Curry color for a friend that loves that pop of orange in the house and I bought some in another color for me which I use as glasses or vases.

Good price and made well, the weight and feel is very much like Danish crystal.

These vases are really great. I love orange vases and have milk-glass ones from the 60s and 70s.
Look great in a collection.

yes..brentwood..but no reason for the price for a 'lookalike'..If it's a great orange color..not cheesy, buy it a big lots..who would ever know..just put YOUR mindset in 'whooaa..this looks GREAT in here!!" and another reason to go hunting for orange vases or such at the tag/yard sales..on the cheap..and fun..

I have been obsessing over orange slag glass vases lately. They are quite the conversation starter, and you can pick one up way cheaper than any of the ones above.
