i've seen them everywhere from movie adaptations of jane austen novels to charlotte york's beautiful park avenue palace in sex in the city...regardless of time period and location, i have always had an affinity for the bedside carafe. they are a sophisticated approach to the utilitarian need to quench ones thirst in the middle of the night...and such a thoughtful touch for guest bedrooms!
when we moved into our new apartment, i went "carafe carazy" and purchased two for our bedroom and one for our "guest quarters." and given the fact that they come in such a wide range of styles, they seem to me to be worthy of a being a "design obsession"...whether your style is traditionally classic or eccentric and funky, these carafes offer a fun and thoughtful way to express your own design preferences.
and who says they are reserved for the bedside? what about using a bunch of them at a dinner party for individual beverages? so chic. the possibilities are endless, really.
...happy sophisticating...
fabulousness from cb2. and at $10, is it any surprise we bought 3?
a very vintage touch, from posh chicago. perfect for a shabby chic-style room!
and another fun shape from grasshopper 510.
anthropologie. need i say more? fab for the dinner table!

Hi Victoria,
M name is Miriam Bernard. I am friends with Keren Sagehorn through my dear mother-in-law (Keren's good friend, Shelley Bernard). I began a blog on Facebook yesterday called "Things I Want But Cannot Afford" and Keren commented on it, mentioning your blog. I am SO glad she gave me this link, because I adore all things sophisticated and vintage (which often go hand-in-hand in my opinion). I also find it strangely coincidental that just yesterday evening I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond admiring a bedside carafe and thinking what a great idea they are. Much more chic than the plastic water bottle currently by my bed. Consider me a subscriber!
