Abstract
Beautiful, elusive shapes are obtained when a water droplet deposited on a nonwetting substrate is subjected to a strong vertical impulse. Drops are highly reshaped to form truncated cones that eventually collapse. The evolution of the geometrical features of these so-called ``vase-shaped droplets'' is reported and discussed.
