"Funky looking" is in the eye of the beholder. Can you tell us a bit
more about what you have in mind?

If you want a custom-blown vase, it would help us to know where you're
located.

Hi birkett7,

Probably the most "funky looking" famous glass blower is Dale Chihuly.
 You can view some of his blown glass beauties at this site:
http://www.chihuly.com/

It would help us if you'd clarify a price guide, size, colors, and
anything else that might help locate a vase for you.

Best regards,

Greetings, birkett7!

I collect Art Glass Paperweights, and many of the studios which make
those also make "funky" Art Glass Vases.

Satava Art Glass has some fantastic selections:
http://www.satava.com/artglass/agframe.html
Their menu is superimposed on the left-hand side. There you can find
links to their selection of "Art Glass" as well as "Contact Info" for
them.

Glass at the Pass Gallery has a nice selection as well:
http://www.glassatthepass.com/vases.

Stained Glass Garden has 3 pages of vases starting with this one:
http://www.stainedglassgarden.com/vases.html

Fusion Art Glass carries a WIDE variety of vases from many different
glass artists:
http://www.fusionartglass.com
The artists with vase selections are listed below. If you are
interested in seeing more examples of vases by these artists, you can
do a Google search on their name (add the word "vase" or "vases" if
your search returns too many results):

Finally, vases by Simon Pearce are not quite so wild, but are still
fairly unique (I have a couple of these, and really like them). Be
sure to scroll across the page to see all the thumbnails of their
vases:
