You might’ve seen this curvaceous beauty by Anissa Kermiche (£350) lurking in Instagram interiors shots of various fashion editors and influencers’ houses. Called Love Handles, it’s basically this season’s it-vase (yes, that is a thing). The ridiculously chic Parisian designer specialises in playful jewellery and household objects that celebrate the female form, including jugs featuring – can you guess? – ladies’, um, jugs. Vases used to be pretty boring, of uniform shape and almost always glass but these days they’re something out there for every taste, however quirky, with many designs bonafide works of art. So much so that you don’t even need to gild the lily (literally) and put flowers in them. Here’s our pick of the rest to zhuzh up your mantelpiece.

Hey foxy lady. Check out Quail’s kitsch-but-cool range of ceramic furry and jungle friends. They look fabulous grouped together.

Face facts – it may look like a Picasso but it’s actually from H&M Home. Who’d have thought it?

Habitat blue and white chequered vase (£40)

This glossy beauty is handmade – you can tell by the quirkily irregular blue and white pattern. Check, mate.
