Jane Foster-(I don't think this design is in production now), Red Vase by Riihamki.
Pic 2. Handkerchief Vase by Chance, Money Box by Luigi Colani, Delicious Tomato Paste from Jamie Oliver ( I love the packaging in his stores), Keep Calm Tea Towel-a friend kindly made it into a wall hanging for me, Egg Cup by Alessi.
