A little History on the Original Lady Head Vases: The first lady head vases appeared before World War II, but their popularity reached its heyday during the 1950s 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 1960s, there was scarcely a home in America which did not contain a solitary lady vase on a vanity table, or a row of the demure beauties in a window sill.
