Ornate Black Lacquer and Gold Vase

Count me among the many disappointed by the lack of LEGO vases for the Botanical bouquets. My solution was to create my own. What you see before you, inspired by trawling through Pinterest, is probably my favourite of the lot. I love the LEGO sets where you look and say, "wait, that's LEGO?" and I think this one fits the bill.

The renders attached are iteration 2, with adjustments made after actually building the prototype, so I know it is buildable (although a couple pieces in Vase 2.0 are in colours not currently available - I figure if I'm dreaming of it as an actual set, I don't need to limit myself. The girder rings should be available in Black anyway).

It was designed with the Dozen Roses set in mind, but without requiring that set. Part of the design is an optional insert that can accommodate up to 16 flowers: 12 with stems made of TECHNIC connectors, and 4 straights (axles or bars). If you don't want the stems attached into the vase, you could just leave the insert out and use it as a normal vase. Alternatively, if you want to just display the vase like you're some Fancy Pants Fine Art Connoisseur (hey, given the Art series, we're out there), it could be displayed on its own.

Go on with your Fancy self.
