Flower frogs were designed to live in the water at the bottom of a vessel to keep the trickiest flower arrangements firmly in place. The openings, into which stems of flowers are inserted and secured, are the raison d'être of every frog.
The earliest known examples of flower frogs date back to the 14th century and were used in the Japanese art of flower arrangement known as ikebana. This technique required the strategic placement of only a few perfect blooms, so a holder was necessary to keep the stems in place.
This is a lovely selection of flower frogs from the Cobalt Blue Tuba Flower Aid Frog made by Grimwade England for Royal Winton to the majolica style small daffodil shaped beauty 🌼 (individually priced).
