This Is Not A White Ming-Style Vase
France

This unassuming white Ming-style vase from Ibride was meant to be broken into pieces...

The clever vase unravels into a set of melamine bowls and serving dishes with poetic graphic interiors and stacks back up into a sleek design object once dinner is over.

This is clever and gorgeous. It's also not incredibly expensive.

WOW! So pretty and I love how the inside of the "vase" is painted with different designs.

You have two "orchids" commenting :)

I second the "WOW!"

I love it! It would be wonderful for a small place but it looks very expensive. I am unsure of how to read the price is it 87 euros or 8,700 as that is vastly different! I may have looked wrong at the website but it is lovely.

WANT.

And it's 87.00, they use a comma the way we use a decimal point.

oh my god, so pretty!

fun idea, although I personally don't like the inside design - would have preferred something solid, a bright color if they were going for that extra element of surprise and fun.

For those who are confused by the price, it's $130 USD at current rates. Quite reasonable.
