Glass Flower Frogs With Center Candle Holder Two Available

Antique Glass Flower Frogs with Taper Candle Holder in the Center

These glass flower frogs were designed to sit in the base of the flower vessel or balanced upon a vase with matching opening measurements. The holes are not punched through and each individually can contain water. The center hole is for a taper candle, but can hold flower stems if you’d rather.

If you plan to use it as a rim balanced flower frog, your vessel rim opening must measure 3″ to 3¼” wide.   The total width (diameter) of the round frog is 3¼” wide.  The dome will rise above the level of the rim approx. 1″.  Both are in excellent condition, no chips, no liquid stains. Two available, choose quantity at cart.

Most agree these helpful flower arranging tools were called ‘flower frogs’ because they sit in water, like a frog. Glass 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.
