Gadzooks! We’ve gone wild! There’s a frog and an owl and fish on the loose in this post. Ah, but it is the time of year when all things feel the sap rising and burning desire to run wild and free. So why not let it happen in this week’s fresh to market vintage.
Oversized Glass Flower Frog
There are flower frogs made of metal and flower frogs made of glass. There are puck shaped flower frogs that sit in the top of the vase and rounded frogs that fit in the bottom of a vase or bowl. This ginormous 19 hole flower frog is too beautiful to hide in a vase. My prop pencils and letter opener make it look common, it deserves to be photographed with fountain pens or quills or roses.
Ginormous Glass Flower Frog, $25.

Embroidered Yemenite Style Gloves
These gloves were made in Israel in the 1970s. They remain unworn in their original packaging. Purchased on a trip many years ago by my mother, who traveled around the world and collected souvenirs from every country she visited. This style of embroidery done with golden thread and often tiny beading is known as Yemenite. Its history goes back in time thousands of years and is indigenous to the area of Southwest Asia or what we known the U.S. as the Mideast. This style is often linked to Israeli art.
Gold Embroidered Gloves, $27.95

Soholm Denmark, Stoneware Owl
This starry eyed owl was created at the Soholm Pottery in the 1970s. The company was founded in 1835 by two potters, H. S. Wolffson and E .C .Sonne in Ronne Bornholm. In the mid 20th century, Soholm produced large amounts of stoneware of various shapes and designs. Unfortunately, the business closed in 1996. If you enjoy Scandinavian pottery, keep your eyes open for the Soholm stamp. This owl has Soholm incised into the base rather than a stamp.
1970s Scandinavian Stoneware Owl with Starry Eyes, $85.49

Iroquois China Pisces Bowl c 1960s
This Iroquois China bowl is heavy vitrified restaurantware from the 1960s and would make a fun gift for the Pisces in your life. The company was founded in the 1900s in central NY, and by the 1930s, it was shipping 4.5 million pieces annually. One of their claims to fame was an order for 500,000 pieces from the US Government, perhaps for state dinners, who knows? Iroquois China ceased operations in 1969, making the Zodiac series among the last to be produced.
Vintage Iroquois China Astrological Bowl, $35
