Description
Whimsical hand-crafted glass frog figurine featuring a stunning blue and white marbled swirl pattern. This tree frog is artistically posed on a natural textured coral stone base. The frog features protruding black glass eyes and detailed spindly toes. Perfect for a coastal-themed shelf or as a unique paperweight.
Key Features
Hand-worked glass craftsmanship; vibrant blue marbled 'millefiori-adjacent' style; unique natural stone base integration; high appeal for frog collectors (ranidaphilists).
Authenticity Indicators
Handmade variations in the glass swirls; lack of mold lines suggests lampworking/hand-blown technique. Confidence: Medium-High (Artisan made, though likely not a high-end designer like Daum).
Flaws to Note
Potential for hidden hairline cracks where the glass is glued to the stone; check each toe for tiny 'fleabite' chips which are common in this style.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest audience), Etsy (best for 'vintage' or 'handmade' vibes), or Mercari (lower fees for collectibles).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Murano Style,' 'Art Glass,' 'Swirl Glass,' and 'Frog Figurine.' Backlighting with a warm LED can make the blue glass 'pop' in photos. Ship with extra cushioning around the delicate glass toes.
