Vintage Bud Vase - Ancestral, 1924
Genuine original vintage cutlery – upcycled into a wee bud vase for your fridge! These make gorgeous gifts.
Perfect for those little flowers (yes, and sometimes weeds!!) kids tend to bring in from the garden for you, or for that tiny wee perfect flower you can’t resist!
These cute wee bud / herb / daisy vases are upcycled from genuine old silver plated vintage knife handles – the type that are hollow. Perfect to hold a wee flower, with water! I’ve glued a magnet on the back so they are perfect for your fridge.
Almost all of my cutlery is sourced from the USA, where they have the most amazing range of patterns and styles, some dating back to over 100 years old. As such, they will likely have signs of their previous lives by way of dings, scratches and maybe a little plate loss.
I’ve put a standard sized business card in the pic so you can get an idea of their size.
It’s wonderful to be able to enjoy the vintage aspect of these and I love giving them a new glamorous life 🙂
Please note that the magnets are neodymium N45 and very strong. I have used a very good quality E6000 glue, but the magnets can come loose due to the very strong grip they have on your fridge! If that happens, just scuff up the surface of your magnet a little (an emery board works, or scratch it with a sharp screw) and reattach with a dab of superglue :o)
