<I>Bouquet holder, starburst</I>
Silver bouquet holder with cone shape. The holder has etched designs and a vertical, walled rim. A short length of chain connects a T-shaped floral pin to the side of the lip. The pin would be inserted through the vase to pierce the stems of a bouquet in order to secure the flowers inside the holder. At the tip of the holder is a ring that probably would have attached to a second chain.
