Peter Christensen's Collection
I collect blocks, a term for non-figural flower frogs. They 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.
My collection appears below, and is listed with identification tips in my Ceramic and Glass catalogs.
