A few years ago, I stumbled across a chemistry beaker at a flea market, and I've been using it as a bud vase ever since. Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves the look of delicate flowers stored in a sterile lab icon: Check out this Seletti Chemistry Vase ($35) and tell me what you think.

One of our friends is in getting his Phd in the sciences and this would remind me of him all the time. I love it!
1It should read "is getting."
2I like it, but don't love it.
3My hubby's actually getting his PhD in Chemistry, I'm an artist, so I think it would be cute. If he wasn't, I don't think I'd like it as much. I can always have him steal flasks from his lab
4I like this idea — I saw a great set of tiny connecting test-tube vases a while back, and these are cool too.
5i've actually done this myself. it's a lot cheaper to find some old beakers on ebay tho
6sorry- I've worked in labs too long. I'll stay away.....
7I kind of like the really tall erlenmeyer flasks. also agree with the above commenter that they can be found cheaper elsewhere. ebay, life science suppliers etc. Labx.com is kind of the ebay of the life sciences and has a bunch of scientific glassware on the cheap.
8awesome, but you have to get the real deal beakers!
9I guess if I was buying a gift for a biology/science teacher this would be good...
10omg i luv u'r page
11it's a great idea but i don't like it AT ALL...
12I think it's a cool idea, but it's a little too geeky for me.
13love it, why not!
14I LOVE IT!
When we finally get to the kitchen, my counters are getting topped with Lab Top. It's that black-charcoal stuff on your chemistry desks in high school. It's virtually indestructible, stain-proof, water-proof, heat-proof. All that.
15Eh. It brings back too many memories of high school chemistry, which I failed miserably!
16I mean it's a cute gift for a science geek or medical professional!? It's quirky so I can see how people would like it but it's not my thing. I do like old funky bottles though.
17Nah and never would spend $35 for that .
18Like many of you, I think that it would be good for a gift for that specific person. I, however, would not use it in my own home.
19Definitely not for me.
20LOVE IT.
Don't want to bring home any of my lab proteins or e. coli by accident!
21Maybe that's because I'm a chemist, though. Rather than shell out $35 though, I think I'll swipe one or two from the lab. Don't worry, I'll thoroughly wash and autoclave them first.
that would look cool in the kitchen or bathroom with bubble bath salts or spices, but i would find one with a cork...
22I love it. Of course, you could probably just get beakers from the chemical supply companies if you were that geeky... And I am, so those are fabulous!
23I don't like the beakers, but I do love seeing just the one flower in a test tube. Cute.
24i like it..it seems so quirky and fun!
25Its quirky... but I'm not in love...
26A former roommate of mine took a couple of them from her lab at school and we used them as vases. Little did I know that our cheap asses where fashionable
27I think it's cool, the Mac counter where i live uses them to hold their brushes and such
28not that i wouldn't use them, but my sister is a (very cute and stylish) scientist and would probably LOVE them.
29not my style...........
30It's great if it's your style however it's not mine.
31It feels a little too much like "Beakman's World" to me.....
32I like it! It appeals to my inner geek.
33i want some of those!
34I love these!
35It reminds me of working in the lab... a job I don't exactly miss. The science geek in me likes it, but I wouldn't want it sitting on my table.
36i'm glad they aren't charging $862973528 for something you could get in just about any science classromm anywhere.
37Having worked in labs too long, I like it, but I have seen better old vintage beakers and prefer those in amber color or frosted glass... and I would definitely swipe one from the lab (maybe a cracked one) before I shelled out $35!
38No, not my taste.
39Maybe as a house warming gift for a science major!
40maybe
41I wouldn't want my house looking like a science lab.
42My dads a chemical engineer so we have lots of these!! Just add flowers!
43love it. i currently have my herbs in test tubes.
44I am not a fan at all.
45It's a cute idea but it's not something I would use in my house. Maybe as a gift for your science teacher or something. I like more elegant things.
46It's alright. I wouldn't mind vases shaped like that but without all the markings, although for some that's the purpose of it.
47as a pharmacy major (aka almost-chemistry major), i LOVE the idea, lol!
48I like it!
49Nice idea.
Um no, i like chemistry but why would i decorate my house with that, maybe a lab..that would be cute but definatly not a house
