Ceramic Mother Frog and Baby Frogs Water Fountain/Statue

This item is a decorative ceramic piece, designed likely as a garden ornament or a water fountain feature. It depicts a large, primary frog figure with a smaller baby frog resting on its back, and what appears to be another, even smaller frog head emerging from the larger frog's back, suggesting a family grouping. The entire piece is rendered in a dark, forest green color, consistent with traditional representations of frogs and often used for outdoor ceramic or concrete statuary. The material appears to be ceramic or possibly a cast resin with a ceramic-like finish, indicated by the smooth, somewhat glossy texture, though the matte finish in certain areas suggests it could also be terra cotta with a green glaze or painted concrete. The craftsmanship shows molded details for the eyes, nostrils, and general body contours of the frogs, giving them a lifelike yet stylized appearance. The eyes of the largest frog are prominent and raised, with distinct pupils. The smaller frog on its back is also well-formed, maintaining the same color and material characteristics. Given the 'water fountain' context provided, there are likely concealed plumbing elements or channels within the structure, perhaps for water to flow from the smaller frog into a basin (not visible in the image). The piece appears to be in excellent condition, with no visible chips, cracks, repairs, or significant wear. There is no obvious patina that would suggest extreme age or prolonged outdoor exposure, but its 'old ceramic frog water fountain' context suggests it has some age. Without maker's marks, specific age or manufacturer is difficult to pinpoint, but its style suggests an aesthetic popular from the mid-20th century to contemporary garden decor. The consistent color application and smooth finish point to a decent quality of manufacture.
