Vintage 19 hole glass flower frog, in amazing orange/pink colour, very vibrant - the picture does not do it justice as it's a much deeper colour! 13 cm diameter 4 cm tall. The earliest known examples of flower frogs date back to the 14th century and were used in the Japanese art of flower arrangement known as Ikebana. This technique required the strategic placement of only a few perfect blooms, so a holder was necessary to keep the stems in place. Early forms were fashioned from iron.
