These were given to me by a lady that runs a thrift shop here on the Cape. It has something to do with being a frequent shopper! I was having fits as I don’t recall ever seeing one of these with a lady wearing such a big hat! It’s in mint shape too.

Vintage lady head vases aren’t that rare despite the fact that they’re usually really expensive. The first time I ever saw one I went nuts but then realized there were so many of them around I stopped collecting them. But if I were to buy one again this would be the one I’d buy. Her hats/hair is insane, like a big tuft of cotton candy with Kleenex looking flowers stuck in the gunk. The hairdo is early 1960s on acid and any other pharmaceutical that was available back then
I love how serene she is despite having that heavy load on her head to carry around.

Not that rare but people ask ridiculous prices for them. I only buy them if I can get them for a really decent price. Like as gifts or priced at $5.00 or under!
