LSA have a good line in retro style ceramics, including these new Odette Mocha vase.
There's a definite trend toward featuring vintage-looking glassware on the high street at the moment and the dimpled surface of these vases definitely lends itself to that look. The unusual coffee coloured glass gives a nice twist to the trend.
The smaller vase sells for £27, while the larger vase goes for £44.

All the big brand designers have mastered the art of logos and branding, but few have formed such an immediate identity as Parisian masters Chanel. From Coco's beginnings, the brand has stayed true to a classic and timeless aesthetic, and many vintage pieces are making their way back into circulation.
From Susan Caplan Vintage, these Chanel stud earrings are just one pair of many genuine vintage gems sourced by the high end vintage line. Dedicated to bringing consumers pieces from the most sought after brands from the 20th century, what these pieces lack in jumble sale pricetag they make up for in timeless style.
These earrings retail at £415 from Matches Fashion. More from Susan Caplan Vintage is available on the site.
If you want something with a classic look, inspired by the earlier part of the 20th century, check out these Alchemy floor and table lamps at Graham and Green.
With a look that wouldn't look out of place in a 'well to do' 1930s home, the lamps are traditional in shape, not to mention heavy, with the smallert version perfect for a table, desk or bedside, the larger for an imposing floor lamp.
Both are adjustable via wing nut fittings, with on/off switches located on the top of the respective light heads. The table/desk version is yours for £130, the floor for £189. See an image of the latter over the page.
An iconic and influential design – yet this Solari Cifra 6 flip clock is currently on offer on eBay for just 99 pence.
The clock was designed in 1965 by Gino Valle, one of a series of similar clocks, this being the largest in that series. In terms of features, it's good for going on your wall or on a table (stand included), with mains power keeping those silkscreen printed digits ticking over. There's also a cream and white plastic case, plus a clear acrylic front.
It's not a perfect example – there are a few signs of age and missing a couple of screws (which are easily replaced). But that shouldn't put you off too much – this is a sought-after design and at retail, they tend to sell for fairly high prices.
