Thinking outside the box

Bought some flowers for Carmel today as she's leaving me for another department. We were rather stuck for something to put them in when she was inspired by the vessel you see.
If you've ever had to use one of these for their designed use I expect that you think vase is a more appropriate!

So goodluck Carmel. I'll miss you but might get a bit more work done as we do like to chat!
