Collectible Head Vases!
Home < Red Hat Boutique or Victorian by Design
Great investments and heirloom items to pass from generation to generation of girls! These vases are no longer made, so now is the time to buy before prices really go up.
The first lady head vases appeared before World War II, but their popularity reached it heyday during the 1950's when American florists used them as incentives to promote the sale of flower arrangements. It is estimated that more than 10,000 lady head vase designs were created, primarily in ceramic or porcelain materials. By the 1960's, there was scarcely a home in American which did not contain a solitary lady vase on a vanity table, or a row of the demure beauties on a window sill.
These lady vases shown below are created as original sculptures by a talented design staff. Each piece is meticulously hand painted. Cameo Girls Lady Vases are individually created and accessorized to provide a fresh new approach to a timeless treasure.

'Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims, nor think the moments long; my faith is heav'nward rising with every tuneful song.' Seated on the worn wooden benches, the upturned faces of the faithful beam with spiritual light, and their voices ring out with the words of the favorite old hymn."

Who is this mysterious swain who occupies her every thought? A young noble? A magistrate's troubled but good-hearted nephew? Or could it be the tousle-headed stable boy with the piercing blue eyes and confident way with the fillies?"
