The first lady head vases appeared before World War II, with their popularity reaching its 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 America which did not contain a solitary lady head vase.

Today, those orginal lady head vases are highly collectible, with some vases worth over $1,000. Most prized are those which feature the likeness of celebrities or familiar characters. Vintage lady head vases made from unusual materials, or by unique manufacturers are also avidly collected.

In addition to these original head vases, we feature the "Cameo Girls" Lady Vase Collection. The same six beauties have been created as they may have appeared over two centuries ago, from 1809 to 2001.
