Posy vase with permanent frog, help please.
« on: November 27, 2016, 01:04:24 PM »
I have searched the forum and the net, but because I don't know the correct terminology for this, I keep drawing a blank.
So what would I call it?
The frog does not come out of the vase, it is part of it, so is it just called a vase with a permanent frog?  ??? ???
I haven't seen one like it before.
It is 85mm high (3.25") & has a top diameter of 90mm(3.5") & it's mould blown.
TIA

If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

I don't know but was wondering if the whole thing is the frog if you see what I mean, and that it's meant to sit inside another bowl of some sort maybe?

I don't think so, M, but I understand where you are coming from. It is sort of similar to the MT1 Tower vase, but the frog sits low down in the vase and is part of the moulding process. Heavy little thing it is too!
Not sure why I post 2 photos the same  ???  ::)  :P I meant to post a photo of the base.

is it easy to clean?  Just wondering about the design aspect of it - not popular if cant' be cleaned properly.
It reminds me of Sowerby colour bowls (those boat bowls - were they also made somewhere else ? Nazeing?) and the rim a bit as well.

Yes, very easy to clean, M, as the frog fills the bottom 1/3 of the vase with just the flower holes to worry about.
