Flower vases.-Seedlings are grown in grooves on a hollow porous figure made of clay and standing on a non-porous base, the hollow figure being filled with water, which percolates through it and waters the seeds or plants and then collects in the non - porous base. The base may be made of heavily-fired clay or the like, and of any form, size, or colour. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a figure made in the form of a man's head the portions representing surfaces covered with hair being provided with grooves a, in which grass seeds or the like are sown. Water is poured in through an inconspicuous aperture b. The base c collects any seeds or grasses which may fall. Another form of the appliance represents a pig or other animal.
