 Hannah Turner bird Yes, it’s another birdy piece. This one’s by Hannah Turner, a Bristol-based ceramicist, and almost looks like it could double up as a boomerang (although we don’t recommend that you throw it).
Oh no, it would be far better, and safer, to have it perched on a windowsill or bookcase, where it can look at you with its cheery beady eyes.
Buy your blue crested bird from Liberty.

 Quirky bird Despite the bird trend having been around for a while now, we’re still drawn to finding different bird-related styles and objects for the home.
Take this oddie bird, for example. It’s made of ceramic in a 1950s style and has been hand dipped in a gorgeous cobalt colour. Each oddie bird has enamel feather transfers applied to give it its own unique character. With its long beak and individual style, it differs from many of the other birdy images we’ve seen in interior designs.
You’ll find the oddie bird for sale at the Catkin Collection.

 Stylish monotone lamp It’s amazing how the base of a lamp can totally change its look. If this one was just a plain colour, it would probably be very easily missable, but the striking cream and black design draws the eye in immediately.
The cream base is made of ceramic and is decorated with a lovely black design, and it’s accompanied by a plain black faux linen drum-style lamp shade.
For a stylish lamp that will turn heads - for all the right reasons - and provide some essential light in a dark corner, then this Felicity table lamp is £65 from Very.

Available in two sizes - tall or short and wide - the hand poured candles are in lovely ceramic pots, handmade by Timea Sido. They come in a ribbon wrapped box, so would make the perfect gift too.

We’re always on the look out for new, innovative and unusual products - and that includes vases. Here are five of the best modern and stylish vases we’ve found recently.
 Napali porcelain vase
1. This striking Napali porcelain vase would look equally good on its own, used as an accessory, as it would with a simple arrangement of flowers in.
It measures 10″ high and has a delicate pattern of swirls swishing around the outside (it’s the kind of design that would look great as a lamp or lampshade too). It’s $120 from Clio Home.
 Normann Swing unique vase
2. For a vase that will create a wow factor, then you can’t go too far wrong with this Normann Swing vase.
A truly unique piece, each glass vase is blown by mouth, so no two are completely identical. The swing vase is available in three sizes, with prices rangings from £22 to £33, but there’s a special offer on at the moment for all three for £75.
As well as purple, the vase is available in black, white, red or green. Buy it from Plain Gorgeous.
 Grass vase
3. If you’re after a natural look, then how about this cleverly designed vase? It’s wonderfully eyecatching and is officially described as a Grass Vase (although we think it resembles asparagus stems much more than grass).
It’s actually cleverly crafted out of ceramic and is made in Denmark.
The grass vase is available in three sizes, priced from $51 to $66, and can be purchased from Clio Home.
 Gocce Murano glass drop vase
4. Murano glass is one of the most popular forms of glass in Italy and is used in a wide range of products, from home accessories to jewellery.
Here it’s used to great effect in the form of an elegant glass drop vase.
Designed by Formia Glass, and part of the Gocce collection, the Murano vase features an opaque jet black core that’s surrounded by crystal clear glass. The contemporary style vase is 30cm tall.
Buy it online from Murano Glass for £110.
 Salzburg glass vase
5. Clear glass vases serve a multitude of purposes and are one of the handiest types of vase to own.
This Salzburg glass vase measures 45cm by 21cm and looks great filled withn contemporary twigs - the sparklier, the better - or a large bunch of flowers.
The Salzburg vase costs £44.04 from Graham and Green.
