Vintage glass flower frog in amber or marigold carnival glass

Flower frogs were popular household items from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, designed to hold flower stems in place within vases or bowls. This particular style, with multiple holes arranged in a circular pattern, was commonly produced during the 1920s-1940s in various glass types including carnival glass, depression glass, and pressed glass. The amber or marigold iridescent finish suggests it may be carnival glass, which was mass-produced as an affordable alternative to expensive art glass. Flower frogs are highly collectible among vintage glass enthusiasts, depression glass collectors, and those interested in domestic antiques and floral arranging history. These items appeal to collectors for their nostalgic charm, variety of colors and patterns, and their representation of early to mid-20th century American home life. The iridescent carnival glass versions are particularly sought after due to their beautiful luster and the popularity of carnival glass collecting. They are valued both as functional pieces for flower arranging and as decorative objects that reflect the aesthetic tastes of their era.
