Hand-Blown Glass Frog Figurine

This item is a whimsical, hand-blown glass animal figurine, specifically depicting a frog in a seated or crouching posture. The piece is constructed using lampworking techniques, featuring a bi-color glass scheme. The lower body, including the splayed legs and webbed feet, is crafted from clear, colorless glass, while the upper head and torso exhibit an amber or honey-toned translucence. A defining feature is the large, expressive 'bug eyes' created through white and black glass overlays, giving the piece a playful character. The front limbs are elongated, supporting the upright head which tapers into a pointed snout. The ribbed texture on the feet indicates a level of manual detail. Measuring approximately 2 to 3 inches in height, the figurine shows a smooth, glossy finish typical of fire-polished glass. No maker's marks or signatures are visible in the image, suggesting it may be a mass-produced artisanal souvenir or hobbyist piece, potentially from the late 20th century. The glass appears to be in good vintage condition with no major chips or cracks visible, though a slight yellowish patina may be present within the clear portions due to age or lighting. This item represents mid-tier glass craftsmanship commonly found in giftware or collectible miniature series.
