Danish artist Peter Svarrer has won multiple prizes for his glass designs. A glance at these elegant vases shows why. The designer named them himself: as he blew into the ball of molten glass at the end of his pipe, Svarrer says, the prototype "practically spun itself." Luscious colors, add the finishing touch to what might just be the world's most perfect vase.
