Best Single Flower Vase

I wanted a floral focal point on my home desk and set out to find the best single flower vase.

In times of feeling stressed I needed something to help me relax into a meditative state. A solitary bloom can be a joy to the senses. In its isolation you get a full sense of the color, the shape, the texture and, if it is a scented variety, the smell. A full appreciation of these individual qualities can be lost when it is part of a fuller display.

The container must complement its contents and display the subject to best advantage. I wanted something that was delicate and would not be overpowering.

As with anything artistic there are many variations catering for a wide variety of tastes. I have chosen the following list as my representation of this diversity.
