Condition
Overall very good original condition. Each of the pieces with some minor inconsistencies in glazing, which is inherent in the making. Surface dirt. "Frog Cream Pie" with chips to central cream peak and a burst airbubble in the foot portion of one frog, all inherent in the making. "Frog Éclair" with chips and losses to both the upper and lower lips and two arms of one frog. "Frog Cheese Sandwich " with minor chips to the white painted portion. Does not detract from the decorative plan. "Frog Sandwich" with some green paint on the bun area of the sculpture. The two "Frog on a Stick" sculptures with glue used to affix the sticks to the ceramic portion is slightly uneven and visible.
