Not sure what this is, but it sure is delicate and it surprises me that it has remained intact for awhile. any ideas? it is a kind of flower frog, isn't it? not quite sure how it was used though.

In Hawaii, this would be called a lei vase.
You don’t actually put a lei in it, you just arrange short sprigs of greenery and short stemmed flowers in it so that it resembles a lei.
Hawaiian lei vases are rather “free-form” so the shape gives the impression a lei was just casually
tossed on a table.
Being clover-shaped, yours would be pretty filled with real clover — some red clover blossoms along with some white blossoms and plenty of clover greenery…and any other little wild flowers you come across.
My yard is full of clover…I’d gladly donate all you want!
not an idea but very sweet
thank you for that info Watchsearcher. i think you nailed it. i found a couple of Rookwood flower frogs the other day, and want to post them, but i've posted exactly 5000 items here and i'm not sure i want to pass that. i'm beginning to have minimalist dreams where i wake up screaming 'i have too much crap and i want to live a lot lighter and spend more time in Mexico and on mountain tops.
AKA flower troughs and posy rings among other names; one would think the unique shamrock/clover shape with cherub might be easier to single out but not finding anything with that shape. Did see a heart shape sporting a cherub with the same pose.
