Vintage Stitched Card Vase. 6" in height by 7" wide. Good condition. Shows a little damage seen in photos.
Add a touch of mid-century folk charm to your home with this unique handmade stitched card vase. Measuring 6" tall and 7" wide, this piece is a classic example of "upcycled" craft popular in the 1950s through the 1970s, where beautiful greeting cards were repurposed into functional art.
The vase is constructed from multiple floral-themed card panels, each meticulously joined by hand using a traditional white blanket stitch. The panels are often laminated or reinforced, allowing the vase to maintain its flared hexagonal shape. While these were traditionally used as "dry" vases for silk flowers or as decorative baskets for vanity items and cards, they serve today as a colorful conversation piece for any vintage-inspired shelf or mantle.
This item is in good vintage condition, though it does show some minor age-related wear and light damage as shown in the photographs. It remains a sturdy and vibrant example of a nearly forgotten domestic handicraft.
This item is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
