These vases made by Catherine Gray are a contemporary design but have something of a surrealist look.
Each yellow, orange or deep red coloured vase is printed with a digital photograph. In the spirit of the Surrealist movement, the images are the cropped faces of a 1920s-style girl whose eyes peer out at you across the room.
Unsettling or arty? You can decide. It's something of an investment piece though as each vase costs £195.

A reissue being sold to accompany the current Henry Moore exhibition at Tate Modern, these cushion covers use textile designs Moore did in the 1940s.
Although the artist is famous for his sculptural works he did also produce textile designs, first for Zika Ascher from 1943 onwards and then for David Whitehead Fabrics after the Festival of Britain. The two textiles available, Wings and Ovals or Half Figures, were both designs produced for Ascher in about 1947.
The patterns are printed onto 100% cotton cushion covers, which sell without their pads. They cost £15 each.

Here's a more modern item than we usually feature, but if you want something that screams the 1980s, this Bang and Olufsen Beocom 2000 telephone is it.
The phone was designed by Lone and Gideon Lindinger-Loewy in the 1980s, continuing in production until late in the 1990s – but the colourful colour scheme tells us this is an earlier model (the bright colours were killed off in the early 90s).
Functional as a modern home phone and known for its excellent sound quality, an early use of a digital display, number memory, pause function, built-in speaker – there's even a hidden note pad. It's on a 'Buy It Now' for £89.99 – or for the more frugal, a 'Make Offer' too.
Following on from the vintage-style track tops comes another World Cup limited edition from Adidas – the Adidas Samba World Cup Edition.
yes, the 1962 football shoe is back in classic black and white, offering up a premium leather finish with a suede toe, white contrast sole and gold branding, along with a German pin badge detail. That's because this is the German edition, the first of a series that will also include the likes of England and Brazil, all in very limited numbers.
The German shoe is available now for £55. Look out for the rest soon, presumably at the same price and looking much the same. Another image over the page.
Way back in our formative years of 2006, we feature what's still a must-have series of books – the Phaidon Design Classics. Well, times change, as does technology, so in 2010 you can now pick up Phaidon Design Classics for the iPad.
It really does look stunning, almost (but not quite) tempting us into investing in Apple's much-hyped tablet. For your money, you get the history of (primarily) 20th century design, just about everything worth owning with 1,000 timeless designs in full colour from the giants of our age, all in chronological order and in this version, rendered stunningly in 3D.
If you've got an iPad (or plan on doing so soon), Phaidon is doing the book conversion for $19.99 initially. Or you can still opt for the traditional book set, which is priced at £100.
Of all the celebrity fashion ranges to inspire vintage fans, that of Nicole Richie is one we never expected. However, her Winter Kate line features quite a few retro-look pieces, including this Yellow Eden Kimono Top. An impressive departure from the days as Paris Hilton's best mate.
The easy luxury of this top lies in the fit, with a high end pattern cut ensuring that the shape is flawlessly luxe. Combined with a psychedelic style orange print, the shirt has an air of 1970s influence, taking a sixties aesthetic into the mainstream with flair.
It's available now online in the UK from My Wardrobe for £218.
