apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Unfortunately silicone takes on freezer smells. I had to throw mine out...

what am i missing? is that shape abstract, or a moose head, or what?

I also seem to have problems with silicone ice cubes - our glasses get little sticky spots on them from the ice that are a bear to wash out (need brillo on crystal glasses). Anyone else come across this problem ?

pinko - it is the silhouette of the standard Alvar Aalto vase.

Pinko, looks like this vase:

For some reason, people oooh and ahhh over that vase. I do not know why.

Here's an image showing flowers in the vase:

It seems that most of the images that are found do not include using the vase. It appears to be one of those things that people buy because of it's shape and name but don't use it as a vase.

Don't mind me though, my perceptions come from a very different place than most other people's perceptions.

You can usually buy any sort of shaped ice tray at Target's dollar bin.

hessielou and TRUE BLUE, consider me schooled! thanks for the info. TRUE BLUE, i am pretty much in your camp, though i liked the 2nd picture showing the vase in use. it makes for an interesting arrangement!

i'm another one in true blue's camp (and appreciate the informative posts).

i agree w/ m. i have silicone trays that make perfectly square cubes. i love them more than i could love any other shape. alas...they are taking on quite the stink, so i'm afraid they'll be short for this world.
