These white porcelain vases by Jonathan Adler have such wonderful shape and texture. Because they are minimal and organic, they will look good for years. The Tamarind Vase (left) is approximately 17.5 inches high and sells for $198. The Belly Vase (right) is approximately 10.5 inches high and goes for $110. Both are white porcelain and can be purchased here.

These hybrid ashtrays by Vitamin double as either a vase (Tab A model) or pot (Tab B model). The design keeps the contents concealed both visually and aromatically. They sell for around $100 from the Vitamin website.
