South Korean imprint Meek Mild introduces its new special edition of a [glazed ceramic vase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-vase) that is designed in the shape of a VHS tape for a retro flair. It is molded in the shape of four [stacked VHS tapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases) in a black palette, slightly staggered for a realistic look. Every single tape references notable hip-hop music videos and films.

This includes the likes of Belly starring Nas and DMX, Boyz n the Hood, Public Enemy's Fight The Power, and Beastie Boys' Skills to Pay the Bills. At the top of the vase is a [tape-shaped lid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-technology-tech-brand-kickbacks-discman-is-nostalgic) that can be removed. It features a special disclaimer from Meek Mild that reads, “Please remember to rewind!”
