It is important the measurement of the flower frog match your intended use. This antique glass flower frog is rimmed so it can sit upon the rim of your flower bowl or vase, allowing the flower stems to be inserted through the open holes reaching down into the water. It can be placed in the base of a large bowl if you like. It was designed to float above the base of the vessel or sit inside a vessel. Has three little feet on the base to raise above surface when placed inside a flower vase or bowl.
Most agree these helpful flower arranging tools were called ‘flower frogs’ because they sit in water, like a frog. Flower frogs became widely popular in the US during the early 1900’s for use in flower arranging. The form and function was replaced In the mid 1950’s by a water-absorbent foam, stopping the development of glass flower frogs.
Glass flower frogs of yesteryear are a better choice than modern foam as they are re-usable, sturdy, collectible and beautiful in their own way. Click here to learn how to use flower frogs.
