We are simply stunned by the beauty of these hand-blown glass vases that appear to have active tornadoes whirling around inside of them. A+A Cooren has produced a limited run of 21 pieces available in Paris.
The intricately-crafted vases are composed of two separate parts - one that holds the flowers, and a lower section that contains their water. This makes pouring out old and adding new water a much easier process. The suggestion of waters awesome power to both create and destroy life adds an interesting layer to the design of a vase.

Woah this is awesome!
I like the design but,it seems to lose it's effect once you put the twigs in there.
Maybe cool with some blue water or a miniature cow and house.
would this be a good housewarming gift for my cousin who lives in kansas?
with a limited run of 21 vases, i doubt you will be able to get your hands on one very easily...
like any vortex this design, could represent water going down a drain. in that case a good gift for the roto-rooter representative.
stunning!
Oooh, I love it.
They are beautiful but I'd hate to have to clean it. So not practical.
this looks much better w/o anything in it.
wow wow wow what more could i say.
