Portafiori in Ottone

I've been using this for ikebana and the pins hold stems exactly where I place them instead of slipping like my old foam did. The brass has a nice patina going already after a few weeks of water exposure.

The weight of the brass keeps even top-heavy stems upright, which my old glass frog never managed. I use the medium one for a few loose branches and it looks like a proper ikebana piece on my shelf.

I’ve been using this frog for my ikebana practice every morning and the three sizes let me switch between low, wide vessels and tall vases without fuss. The pins hold stems firmly at sharp angles, which makes even messy wildflower stems look intentional.
