I'm looking for a few of them, they don't still have to have the flowers, let me know what you would like in exchange.

My grandmother gave one to my oldest daughter, so of course I had to have one for my younger daughter, I found one at an auction for her, and later got one for myself too.

They've been in my china cabinet for so long I can't really bear to give my daughters theirs...my lady would be lonely... unless I find a few replacements!

I love head vases. They are quite collectible and getting hard to find.

I have four of them, always looking while at garage sales and the thrift. They are pretty collectable now, especially the older ones.

I have two of them passed down from my mom and mom-in-law. One says Avon on the bottom. I remember the other one always had rhododendren planted in it because it was the only house plant my mom could get to survive! I have seen lots of them at antique malls, and some get pretty expensive! I hope you find some for your daughters at a good price.

My mom used to have a couple of these. I don't know whatever happened to them though.

Well at first I thought that was a photo of a head vase, then when my eyes adjusted I realized it was a cat reluctantly taking a bath.....
