Until the 1960s, “Flowerfrogs” from bohemia were popular decoration items in Germany. Today they´re mega-out. They´re said to be old fashioned, square and unsophisticated. Thats why you can find lots of them on flea markets and in social departments.
But acctually they are highly practical, if you don´t fix them on being boring vases. I use my “flowerfrogs” as halters for some pens, sewing items, thread, kohl and lipsticks.
So why buying another cheep, mass produced plastic item with harmful contents, if there are so many low rate or even free glassy flowerfrogs? Or use some other second hand items you really like!
