PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or applicable, to Flower Vases.
I, HENRY GETHING RICHARDSON, of The Wordesley Flint Glass Works,
Stourbridge, in the County of Worcester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to provide means whereby flowers may, after
having been arranged, be removed from a vase without disarranging them, or may
be arranged ready to be placed in a flower vase, and it consists in the employ-
ment of what I term a holder which is adapted to enter the mouth of an ordinary
vase and to contain the flowers. The lower end of the said holder is open so that
the stems of the flowers can project therethrough into the water within the vase.
It will thus be obvious that if, for instance, it is necessary to change the water
in a vase, the holder with the flowers therein can be readily removed from the vase
without disarranging them and, after the water is changed, be replaced.
My improved holder may be made of glass, china, earthenware, metal or other
suitable material.

Improvements in or applicable to Flower Vases.
I, HENRY GETHING RICHARDSON, of The Wordesley Flint Glass Works,
Wordesley near Stourbridge, in the County of Stafford, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention has for its object to provide means whereby flowers may, after
having been arranged, be removed from a vase without disarranging them, or may
be arranged ready to be placed in a flower vase, and it consists in the employment
of what I term a holder which is adapted to enter the mouth of an ordinary vase
and to contain the flowers.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is an elevation of a flower vase having a holder therein constructed
according to my invention, and
Figure 2 is a view shewing the upper part of the vase and the holder in section.
a is the vase which is of ordinary shape and construction but which may
be of any other desirable shape, and b is my holder which may be made of glass,
china, earthenware, metal or other suitable material. The lower end of the said
holder is open so that the stems of flowers can project therethrough into the water
within the vase, and that the water can rise up into the holder to touch short
stems.
It will be obvious that if it is necessary to change the water in a vase the
holder with the flowers therein can be readily removed from the vase without
disarranging them and, after the water is changed, be replaced,
