Victorians loved flowers and wanted them everywhere – in their homes, on their lapels, in their hair and even on their children, as they called their little girls names like Rose, Iris, Lily and Daisy. Wall pockets became popular during Victorian times because of this love of fresh flowers in the home. For those who don’t know that such a thing exists, these decorative items are back in vogue and contemporary examples can be found if you look around at home decorating outlets and catalogs even today. Made of porcelain, glass and pottery, wall pockets are flat-backed decorative objects that hang on a wall, providing a vase effect. Also called wall vases, wall pockets grew in popularity in the United States during the time between the two world wars. These charming wall hangings were meant to hold cut flowers or to root ivy or other plants. Victorian examples in majolica are especially lovely. But wall pockets can be found in many desirable colors and types of glass, including flow blue, lustre ware, carnival glass, milk glass, hand painted and hand blown. This book discusses and shows hundreds of pictures of antique all pockets.
