Lovely antique porcelain bisque flowers. These came to me in a larger collection of porcelain flowers. I had asked one of the antique dealers to search for more florals at the faire for bridal globes and they did a great job. These probably date to the mid to late 1800's and were most likely used in a Napoleon III Bridal Globes. I myself have never had a completed bridal globe with all the trimmings but I do have all the pieces and parts to put one together. However, these are only part of the second grouping of porcelain flowers I have ever had. These flowers are pretty much the same except for the colors. They all have long wires that show minimal rust at the end but there are no leaves. All the stems are green and I do believe that this is the original floaral stem tape (if that is what they called it back then). Some of it is coming off of the wire but that is to be expected given their age. It really is shocking how flowers like these have survived but based on the quanitity of florals and way they came to me I am going to assume that someone was the creator of bridal globes. Each one of these flowers measures approximately .6" x .8".
