The first is a pale green frosted glass jack-in-the-pulpit vase. I have used white lisanthus, white obedience plant, and white asiatic lilies. The vase was offered at $45 - I picked it up for $25.00 Also bought a tall, narrow Pinwheel crystal vase for $8.00 (suitable for glads and delphiniums), and shorter, heavy (modern) crystal vase for $4.50. The Rockport pottery vases started at $498.00 - too rich for my purse. Click the image for an enlarged view.

The "fence posts" are filled with foxglove, pinks, cornflowers, linaria Click the image for an enlarged view. gessiegail Taft, TX (Zone 9a) July 14, 2007 9:02 PM Post #3736851 I like both of them!!!!!!!!!! but I love the first one...good buys and great looking Seandor Springfield, MA (Zone 6a) July 15, 2007 10:22 AM Post #3738286 thanks, gessiesgail :-) karmaplace New Orleans, LA (Zone 8b) July 19, 2007 9:00 AM Post #3754070 Neat vases. Seandor Springfield, MA (Zone 6a) July 19, 2007 9:13 AM Post #3754102 Thanks :-) There were soooo many vases - but alas, limited funds :-) BDale60 Warren, PA (Zone 5a) July 19, 2007 10:10 AM Post #3754338 Love the fenceposts and your mix of flowers in them! Creative. Seandor Springfield, MA (Zone 6a) July 19, 2007 10:32 AM Post #3754607 Yeah - the fence posts are kinda cute. There really were some beautiful Rockport vases - absolutely amazing - but too expensive for me. The Brimfield Antique Show occurs three times a year - May, July - and September. So I will go back again and see what bargains I can find. Who knows - maybe I will win a lottery and will be able to buy a Rockport lol
