I often receive e-mail asking what flower frogs are being produced currently. There are different articles and links available on this website which talk about current productions (some no longer so current), but I will try to round them all up here. |
||
|
|
||
| The oldest article that should be studied is Flower Frogs Available by Mail Order. This article shows flower frogs sold by mail order dating back to 1984. | ||
|
|
||
| The Fenton Nymph was reissued in 6 different colors in the 1990's. In 2001 she was reissued in vaseline. The reissues are marked with the Fenton logo; the originals were not. See my article on Fenton Art Glass for more information. | ||
|
|
||
| The stainless steel Perfect Arranger was introduced in the 1990s and is still being marketed today. | ||
|
|
||
|
Dorothy Biddle Service sells an extensive line of floral arranging products. Unfortunately, DBS no longer sells retail, but you can still see what is currently available by clicking on "Floral and Craft Items." At right: DBS reproduction frog made from an antique flower frog. |
|
|
|
|
||
| Also see the article on Weiss, Kühnert & Co. to see which items are being reissued by The German Doll Company (lower portion of page). | ||
|
|
||
| In addition Marcia Bradley has informed me that Tender Heart Treasures has been offering new flower frogs for the past three years (2000-2003). They are pictured below. | ||

a very plain design. The vase is 6" in diameter by 6"

12/01/04 From Dreena Barker: "I am a flower frog fan of long standing. I am also an artist. I have just posted a web site offering some of my latest creations - flower frogs! Take a look - www.modernfrogs.com" To date, Dreena has created and cast a frog, snail, turtle, and ladybug. Also available is a companion freeform rippled "saucer" that makes the frog look like it is sitting in a pond. The limited edition pieces are signed and numbered and each one comes in two or three different colors. |
|
|
|
||
| Although I don't consider these flower "frogs," they are flower arrangers, so you might want to check out WebVase (also called Eziranger) and Blossom Crown. | ||
 |
At left, WebVase was patented in Great Britain in 2005 and is marketed as Eziranger in the USA by Kinsman Company. At right, Blossom Crown is a bendable reusable wire grid available in numerous sizes and bead options. |
