{Tiny Silver Vase with Rosebud Pelargonium}

Just to give you a more precise idea about HOW tiny our Silver Repoussé Vase from my previous post: {Our Wild Violets} actually is, here it is again now filled with our Rosebud Pelargonium.
You see? There is a US quarter next to this tiny silver vase.
That vase I snatched away on eBay as it actually is the KNOB of a Victorian style walking stick or parasol!
A silver repoussé rosebud knob, that was missing its stick.
See below post some examples from Christie's.
I saw right away the use for it as it was flat at the top; now bottom when used as a vase...
Mind you, these are NOT real roses but instead our Rosebud Pelargonium...
Are they not darling looking like the real thing?!
Arranged her are the Red Rosebud and the Apple Blossom Rosebud...
Outside in the sun of our balcony...
On the balcony's teak table.
Don't you love them?
Such lovely miniature rosebuds to play with!
Now on top of our Brown Jordan Chaise...
Showing the Apple Blossom Rosebuds.
Pink edges and so beautiful.
Light does affect their color just a tad...
Are these not a dream?

Time to say goodbye!
Do you have any of these Rosebud Pelargonium?

    1. Dearest Theresa,
      Thank you but that was quite obvious for me when I saw its flat top; turn it upside down and voilà. That way I finally had something for those cute Pelargonium Rosebuds as they got drowned in nearly every vase...
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    1. Beste Marianne,
      De werkelijkheid is KLEIN! Er ligt een quarter naast en dan weet je het wel. Die victoriaanse rozenknop geranium zijn heel fijntjes! Het is ook maar een knop van een wandelstok of parasol waarin ik ze geplaatst heb, iets kleins wat je in de handpalm houd.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

    1. Dearest Kay,
      These are rare Victorian varieties of tiny pelargonium, not to be confused with the usual pelargonium. They do look lovely though!

    1. Beste Janny,
      Ja, voor hele kleine tedere trosjes van bloemetjes is dit vaasje prachtig!
      Het zijn geen roosjes hoor maar een zeldzame victoriaanse soort geranium die rozenknop heet.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

  11. Wait, I didn't realize the vase was THAT tiny! With the quarter next to it, I can see how tiny it is now!
    What a smart and amazing idea to use the knob of stick / parasol as a vase. I could never come up with such idea! Those roses are beautiful. They look like real roses. Very lovely in the beautiful vase!

  16. Dearest Mariette:
    I wouldn't guess your silver vase is so tiny if you don't take the picture together with the coin, this is so cute. I also love your Rosebud Pelargonium. This is such a wonderful idea. Send you a big hug and I hope you and Pieter have a great week,
    Love,
    Laura

  17. Dearest Mariette,
    Your small silver vase is so beautiful!!!! What a clever idea to turn an old walking stick knob into a vase!!!
    The rose bud pelargoniums, in both colours, are a delight to the eye and so matching with the size of the vase!
    I wish you a nice week!!
    Many hugs!!!
