What it does:
- It sits at the bottom of a bowl or vase
- You stick flower stems onto the spikes
- It keeps arrangements stable and upright
This style is especially common in:
- Traditional Western floral arranging
- Japanese ikebana (called kenzan)
Why it looks scary:
- The spikes are sharp by design (to pierce stems
) - Yours is rusty, which makes it look worse than it is
How to confirm:
- Heavy metal base
- Flat bottom
- Dense grid of short spikes
If you want to use it:
- Clean with vinegar or rust remover
- Dry well to prevent further rust
- Place in a shallow dish with water
Safety note:
- Don’t handle carelessly — those spikes can definitely puncture skin
- Keep away from kids
Value:
- Vintage ones are actually collectible
- Still widely used by florists today
