Vintage Pressed Glass Flower Frogs with Patinated Pewter Base - Set of 2

Enhance your floral arrangements and table decor with this rare and authentic set of 2 vintage glass and pewter flower frogs. Centerpieces of bygone table settings, these "table hedgehogs" perfectly combine the crystalline brilliance of faceted glass with the understated elegance of metal, patinated by the years.

Each piece consists of two entirely removable parts for easy cleaning: a heavy, thick, transparent molded glass diffuser block, pierced with geometric cells, and a superb octagonal receptacle with cut sides in genuine pewter. Proof of their origin and superior quality, the underside of the bases bears the official stamp "ÉTAIN - Les Étains du Manoir / Stains France," a highly sought-after artisan signature among collectors and lovers of high-end vintage items.

Technical Characteristics & Condition

Precious and durable materials: Solid art pewter stamped under the base and removable translucent molded glass diffuser blocks.

Dimensions and proportions: Lot includes two complementary sizes (a large model ideal as a main centerpiece and a smaller model perfect as an accent or on a side table).

Unique design: Octagonal geometric base offering perfect seating and stability, even for heavy plant stems.

Vintage condition: Excellent overall used condition. The glass retains perfect transparency and brilliance without any chips, and the pewter has an absolutely beautiful original matte patina.

Eco-responsible decor tip: Unlike contemporary synthetic green floral foam that crumbles and pollutes, the old glass flower frog is eternal, washable, and infinitely reusable. It is ideal for showcasing fresh, short-stemmed flowers from your garden (roses, tulips, lavender, ranunculus) or for holding bohemian chic dried flower bouquets.

Creative Repurposing Ideas

Thanks to its unique aesthetic, this antique pewter flower frog transcends its primary function to become a beautiful object of curiosity for everyday use:

On a writer's desk: Transform it into an elegant pen holder or quill holder.

In a beauty area or bathroom: Use it as a chic and vintage stand to organize your makeup brushes or skincare accessories.

Each piece in our online store is passionately sourced. As this lot of flower frogs is a true antique, only one unique set is available. Don't miss the opportunity to add it to your collection.
