Vintage lady head vases and wall pockets were once all the rage from the late 1940’s into the 1970’s. They were used by florists for their smaller arrangements. Eventually, they went out of style and this product either sat back on florist stock shelves or went directly into the cupboards of those who received the vases full of flowers. Then, one day, these kitsch Mid-Century beauties began appearing on collectors' radar. Collectors search high and low for lady head vases and wall pockets. These ceramic imports were manufactured both Japan and the United States. Popular brands include Lefton, Trimont, Rubens, Enesco, Ucagco, Relpo, Stanford Pottery, Napco, Royal Copley, Hull Pottery, McCoy Pottery and more. Today, these vases and wall pockets are back in fashion for many collectors interested in MCM wares. There is something for everyone in this Lady Head Vases sale, with over 600 vases to choose from.
