These Detergent Vases are a fresh spin on classic home decor. Do you love the clean look of the Dish Detergent Vase, or are the soft contours of the Laundry Detergent Vase more your style?

Just recycle old bottles

I think if they'd left them plain white I might like them more. As it is, they just look like plastic bottles with the labels removed.

please it looks like any cleaning bottle from the store and I would never use one for a vase.

I think I could get the same effect with my empty cleaning bottles. I wouldn't pay for these.

Thanks for all of your feedback on these Dish and Laundry Detergent Vases! These handmade creations are cast from plastic bottles, but they are actually a richly colored porcelain. We love that the contoured containers look like disposable bottles, but will actually last for years to come. Would you pair one with a bold bloom?

I could wash out my own detergent bottle and have a vase for free.

I've seen this before with actual old bottles and it was much cuter and cheaper. The really just look like old bottles and unless you picked them up you have no idea they were porcelain. Perhaps if they had done some sort of unique design on them they would be worth $40. I would rather save $40 and just peel the labels off my old containers.

I love the idea of using porcelain, but using the bottle colors makes it look like the actual plastic bottle. I agree with other commenters that if this were done in plain white or with a nice design I would go for it.

If I really wanted to use a dish detergent bottle as a vase (which I don't) I'd repurpose the finished bottle instead of shelling out $40 for something so plain.

Unpolished porcelain has a horrible gritty feel.

Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator

Hi, Mari! We're happy to provide a bit more information on these creative vases. Although they look like repurposed bottles, each vase is actually made from a beautiful textured clay. Artists Bo and Alison Jia designed these vases as a play on the connection between traditional craftsmanship and sleek, modern design. Each vase is handmade using casts made from discarded cleaning product bottles, giving them their recognizable shapes.

Why buy porcelain when one could just upcycle the actual bottles for the same purpose?

I like these, but you can just paint some of your used dish and laundry detergent bottles and save some money.

Too costly for something that not many flowers can even fit in!

azura

Who keeps flowers in plastic detergent bottles. If people come over and see that they'd think I was too poor to afford a real vase. Then they would realize its porcelain, and then realize how dumb I am to buy porcelain detergent bottles instead of a vase.

There are many items that are similar to this which are clever. For one example, the ceramic paperbag. This misses the artistic cleverness.

Not particularly attractive to me, but if it is someone's taste I guess it is cute. I predict it will be in clearance in 6 months.

I would probably like these better if they were white, and in a high gloss. But they way they are now, I agree with everyone else, I'd rather just reuse my own detergent bottle.

Jennifer

Maybe if they were decorated differently but in the picture I thought they were just old cleaning bottles, not casts of them.

They look cheap! Even if you did play them up as 'artsy,' I would still grab a pretty glass vase instead of these. They would be distracting from the flowers!

$40 for an old bottle?! that's a rip off.

Cassie, UncommonGoods Community Moderator

Hello, Robyn. Thanks for voting! Just for clarification, these are not repurposed detergent bottles. These are ceramic vases cast from bottles, so they convey that familiar shape. If you'd like more information on the artists and their process, please read the product story on the left.

i like this idea, i think theyre cute. I could see them in a magazine ad for one of those gorgeous kitchens people dont actually use. they'd go great with the retro kitchen i wish i had... but im not spending $40 on them until i get it haha

A plastic bottle look a like for $40 ... I could just buy the plastic bottle for $2. They are just plain ugly at that. We hide these type of bottles AWAY in the cupboard for a reason!
