    KingofThings 'Illiteracy is a terrible thing to waist' - MHH

    Someone posted photos recently of a bunch of Christmas items and I had singled out a green box with a tree topper that looks something like these dimensional snowflakes I recently bought. They are about 4" in diameter.
    Does anyone know who made them, have any or know where I could get some?
    Thank you! :)

    No idea on the snowflakes, but the top and bottom one look like mineral specimens. Calcite would probably be closest.

    Sorry :( I didn't say they are probably Lucite but you likely mean they mimic those minerals. :)

    That would be my guess too, unless they're some old Taiwanese imports. I just thought they looked like calcite specimens. If you can't find the plastic, get the real thing!

    I was going to say it is a flower frog but the measurements seem very large for that.

    Hi Johnny - I believe the vases are Pfaltzgraff. Sometimes they go a bit heavy with the glaze!

    Pfaltzgraff for sure. You can check Replacements and see if the pattern name is there. These may not be part of a dinnerware line but they often make coordinating decorative pieces.

    AND, that's when I take the piece of art AND the frame I want to use, to an Art supply store that does the framing and have THEM cut the matt to fit.....I just can't do it that neatly, and they do a great job....at least where I go, does!!
