Waterford Crystal Frog Paperweight / Figurine

This is a fine lead crystal figurine of a frog, produced by Waterford Crystal. The piece exhibits high clarity and light refraction characteristic of lead glass. Measuring approximately 4 to 5 inches in length, the frog is sculpted in a reclining posture with a textured back featuring raised polished bubbles or 'warts' that create an interesting tactile and visual surface. The eyes are rendered as large, smooth circular protrusions, giving the piece a stylized yet charming character. The underside is typically flat and polished to allow the item to sit securely on a surface as a paperweight. While a specific acid-etched ‘Waterford’ mark is not visible in the photo, these pieces typically bear a signature on the base or side of the foot. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, flea bites, or internal fractures. The smooth, flowing lines and thick glass construction indicate high-quality craftsmanship consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century European crystal production. The clear glass reflects surrounding colors, emphasizing its purity and the absence of clouding or solarization commonly found in inferior glass.
