Bouroullec Ruutu Diamond-Shaped Vase in Copper, designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Iittala, $295 at the Dwell Store
Though made of glass, not copper, this handsomely colored vase is hand-blown into a steel mold and polished into a diamond-shaped vessel, entailing an exacting process that takes 24 hours to produce a single piece.
