I promised that I would show some photos of the Brockwitz Display that we assembled at the CGS (UK) annual convention this past weekend. I'll be adding much more in due course, but here is a short "taster".

I was wondering where on earth you kept it all  :lol:  but then I read that it belongs to various members.  8)

Fabulous :!:
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.

Many thanks Della, Lynne, Anne and Christine. It's good of you to comment and I'd like you to know how much I appreciate it.

I'd be grateful for any thoughts on what the shape / function of the Bremen item is (shown in the final photo...well "final" for now as I will be adding many more next week, I hope). Would you call it a vase or a jardiniere? It isn't a shape that I have seen in the Brockwitz catalogs, and I wondered what others thought it would be classed as.

Do you mean the squashed hat?
I wouldn't call it a jardiniere, that is designed to have a plant pot in it and that looks too narrow for that.  I would call it a vase I think.  Assuming squashed hat doesn't suit... :lol:
Thank you very much!

Hi Glen,

I am not sure what I would call it.
The foot looks as though it should fit into something, or is it just me?
It sort of looks like an oval posy.  :?  

I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment.  :)

I have a large vaseline squashed hat, although not such a deep base, with a flower frog to match. I vote vase. Was there any internal scratching as seen after a frog has been in and out for 70 years?

Many thanks for your thoughts and ideas.

The piece isn't mine, and although I handled it I can't for certain recall the interior. I don't think it had scratching at all. I haven't seen any Brockwitz Carnival vases with flower "frog"/holders before (but it is always possible).

I think you're all right - I agree too - it is a vase. It's a big item, and heavy, by the way. I think it's best to maybe refer to it as an oval vase.

Thanks again  :lol:
