Where can I buy a vase like this?

[spender]

Wife is really on me to find a vase like the one shown in the pictures, that we saw at a store down in Phoenix a few months back. Note that it's fairly large, at least over 2 feet tall, probably higher...

Does anyone know of any stores in Calgary that would carry a vase like this, or could bring one in? Thanks in advance, this will get the wife off my back!

That looks more like an urn. Funeral home?

[ercchry]

you want an urn... that is not a vase... it is for dead people's ashes

[Kloubek]

I am not sure why I'm loling right now....

I guess I'm just envisioning how such a conversation might have gone...

"Wow Mrs. IliveinPhoenix..... I really love your vase."

"That's not a vase... that's my husband."

Yeah, I'm bored.....

LOL! :) Would only be an urn if it was for the ashes of a horse, it's actually quite large (it's over 2 feet, almost 3 feet high) - could fit a whole family's ashes in it!

Well, whatever it is, the wife wants one. If anyone has any ideas on where to find one, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I already know that Hinchcliff & Lee http://hinchcliffandlee.com in Inglewood has some, but they are really pricey..

[Kloubek]

How much is "really pricey"? You might be hard-pressed to find such a rare product for under a couple hundred bux I'd think....

There's a store on 17th Avenue SW directly across from Brava Bistro and Starbucks. I don't recall the name but it's the right next to Melrose.

Horse urn store (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=723+17th+avenue+sw+calgary&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.281301,56.513672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=723+17+Ave+SW,+Calgary,+Division+No.+6,+Alberta+T2S+0B7,+Canada&ll=51.037832,-114.078147&spn=0.007434,0.013797&z=16&layer=c&cbll=51.037825,-114.078319&panoid=6CXlNAAXz-2sdpmD53CNOA&cbp=12,3.39,,2,0.43)

They carry a lot of decor in that style.

It was a little over $1,000 USD - but I would never pay that.

I wouldn't pay $20 for that ugly thing... lol...

[Kloubek]

^^ Nice input.

It isn't my style either, but I'm going to stop short of saying it is ugly. It's actually quite nice - if that is the sort of look you're into....

Yeah Spender - a grand is a little much. But look at your username... you should be jumping on that shit! :)

I don't entirely disagree, but you're obviously not married or living with a chick! LOL Lots of the stuff in the house isn't anything that would be there but for her... Me getting the vase equals a bit of peace and quiet from the old lady...

Sometimes you can't put a price on peace & quiet... :D

Try Chintz and Co on 11th Ave, they might have something like that. That whole strip along 11th is kind of a "design district", you might see something in one of the stores along there.

[Bizzareo]

check uptown 17th ave, and also 10th ave.

[slinkie]

+1 for chintz and co, came to mind as soon as i read op
