Flower Containers

One of my passions is  to go antiquing,  am I am always on the lookout for unusual floral containers.

Old glassware is especially useful to create a charming floral arrangement.


A single mis-matched sherbet gets a new life as a rose vase.
 Fancy stemware is perfect for flowers or tea lights. 


Old canning jars are perfect for casual displays of flowers.


Another favorite- old celery vases and spooners- 


Unusual baskets!



 Beautiful old pottery pieces



Wine bottles and demi-johns


Metal Victorian planters have so much character with their details.


A turn of the century planter with a violet in residence.


Garden urns brought inside.


The old stone French garden cone container.


Ironstone and copper


Vintage silver trophies and sea shells.

 A nautilus shell is the most beautiful container.




Confit pots and olive jugs



Old wire containers






My all time FAVORITE- a vintage horn and silver trophy!  When I found it, it was completely void of any silver finish.  So I sent it out to be re-silvered - it was so worth the investment!


Happy hunting!
