Sleek wooden vases

Fans of sleek modern style will love these black mango wood vases from John Lewis. Reduced to clear in the sale prices start at just £5, with the mid-size vase shown at £7.50, the vases are designed to hold one or two stems in the small aperture. Unfortunately, being wood (though they look ceramic), they're for dried arrangements only. Something other than flowers would keep with the modern look - perhaps a pine or twisted chesnut branch, ikebana style.
