Flower Frog Collections

Most popular during the first half of the 20th century, flower frogs were used to arrange flowers and were likely called "frogs" because they were set in water. Made from ceramic, glass or metal, they came in a great variety of forms ranging from beautiful nudes to odd wire contraptions, all fun to collect.

I collect blocks, a term for non-figural flower frogs that came in two forms. Inserts were often sold with a matching bowl, and the flower stems were placed in the holes of the "frog" as it set in water in a bowl. Lids were sold with a vase, and the flower stems were placed through the holes and down into the water.
