A mini work of nature and human endeavor, entrants were in those days often judged not only on the blooms themselves but also on the overall presentation of the flower in relation to its vase. That meant that the two had to be equally harmonious and complimentary to each other without one overshadowing the other.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMini vases of this size were also perfectly suited for tray service, desk, and window sill display, and decorating any spot in the house that could use a little interesting detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnmarked as to maker, this one could have been the prize of Shawnee Pottery or Haeger or Weller. It might have come in other colors too and joined a collection of other similar art deco-inspired designs in mini form and fashion.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hard-to-find-style now, we are left to guess at its origin story, but that makes it great fun too. Was it once in the collection of a prize-winning rose grower determined to hold the title at the local flower show? Or did it sit on the desk of a botanical illustrator who plucked and placed a fresh flower every day for inspiration and study? Or maybe it cheered the morning on a breakfast tray for a romantic sweetheart just rousing from sleep.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagic things come from mini delights.
