A small vase earns its place on a shelf by doing one thing well. Two vessels here make that point in very different ways: one lets light and smoke pass through its body, the other builds its body from fine, looped mesh.
A heart cut into warm clay
The Handmade Clay Heart Vase Incense Burner is a brown, bottle-shaped piece with a heart cut through the front and small round holes scattered around it. 
The listing describes coarse, unglazed clay in a matte reddish-brown, with a short flared neck and a shape it says fits comfortably in the palm. It's meant for a few stems of dried flowers or for incense, with smoke drifting out through the perforations. A soft, dry cloth is the recommended way to dust it; the listing asks that it not be soaked or cleaned with harsh products.
Silver mesh with a lace edge
Then there's the Handmade Wire Crochet Decorative Vase, photographed in gray with red flower branches inside. 
According to the listing, it's crocheted from silver-colored metal wire, with a bulbous base tapering to a scalloped rim of pointed wire ends. It can stand alone as an object or hold dried or artificial flowers. Store it away from moisture, and don't bend or pull the wire loops when you dust it.
If you're choosing between them, the clay piece suits a darker corner where its cutout can catch a little light; the wire one brings a bit of shine to a bright surface. For the clay piece, our guide to ceramic objects at home goes further on handling and placement, and setting scale in a small space helps if you're weighing where either one should sit.
