DIY Ming Vase
By Miel Van Opstal
This is one of the weirdest puzzles I’ve ever seen, but it makes sense. I think (even if it’s a fake) that it might actually even work. I can see myself buying this as a birthday/x-mas gift for a few relatives. Would also make a great business gift at the end of the year though :) I think the concept is quite cool. Very often you don’t sell something because it’s broken. But what if something broken would actually become your unique selling proposition exactly because it’s broken. That changes a lot, and because it’s so uncommon, it might easily become a success. There’s tons of cool things you can do with this for direct marketing purposes.

UPDATE: It IS a direct marketing goodie from Pattex. Beautiful!
