Description :
A fine six-piece collection of vintage flower frogs from the 1930s–1950s, showcasing a range of materials and styles used in classic floral design. These ingenious tools were placed inside vases or bowls to hold flower stems securely in place and are now prized for both their function and sculptural beauty. The lot features two clear pressed-glass frogs with circular multi-hole designs, two domed metal cage-style frogs with lattice grids, and two brass pin-type kenzans with original patina. Together, they represent the evolution of floristry aids from the Art Deco to the mid-century era — equally appealing to collectors and designers. Lot Details: Quantity: 6 pieces Materials: Pressed glass, cast metal, brass Types Included: (2) Clear glass frogs with multiple stem holes (flat 5″ round and domed 4½″ round) (2) Metal cage-style frogs with domed lattice tops (aged brass tone) (2) Brass pin-type “kenzan” frogs (approx. 2″–2½″ diameter) Approximate Dimensions: Largest 5″ across; smallest 2″ across Era: Circa 1930s–1950s Collecting Note:
Flower frogs have become highly collectible for their artistry and form, with early examples often displayed as decorative objects. This mixed-material set captures a cross-section of vintage floral arranging history, from Depression-era glass to practical mid-century metalwork.
